Backup configuration
The three elements a backup job requires are:
- Savepack
- the list of locations and filenames of the data to be saved.
- Drivepack
- the tape drive (or drives) which will write the copy.
- Tape pool
- the tapes on which the backup data will be stored.
The backup elements are stored in
the Arkeia Network Backup server.
It is most likely that you will use an existing Drivepack and Tape pool,
so a new backup configuration will only need a new Savepack to contain the
filenames of the new data to be backed up, and schedule if it is not an
immediate backup.
Click on the Manage...
action menu items to create
new backup elements or modify existing elements.
Configure the backup job by choosing from the navigation tree:
- Immediate backup
- to immediately run a backup job.
- Scheduled backup
- to start a backup job at some future date and time, and
optionally repeat it at regular intervals.
- Immediate Disk-to-Tape
- to copy or move a backup data set from
disk storage to tape.
- Disk-to-Tape Setup
- to configure a transfer of backup data sets from
disk storage to tape
during a scheduled backup, at some future time and date.
