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.
