Customer-supplied server backup
There are three options for backing up with HAFM:
•
Backing up to a read writable CD
•
Backing up to a hard drive
•
Backing up to a network drive
Backing up data
HAFM backs up data to two alternate folders. For example, if the backup directory location is
D:\Backup
, the backup service alternates between two backup directories,
D:\Backup
and
D:\BackupAlt
. The current backup is always
D:\Backup
and contains a complete backup of the
system. The older backup is always
D:\BackupAlt
.
If a backup cycle fails, usually because the CDRW is full, there may be only one directory,
D:\Backup
. There can also be a
D:\BackupTemp
directory, which you should ignore as it can
be incomplete.
Backing up to a CD-RW
To back up to a CD-RW, you must have CD writing software installed, and the disk must be
formatted by the software so that it behaves like a drive.
