10. Backup Profile

A backup profile is used to set default backup selections commonly used when performing different types of
backups. Assigning a backup profile to a

backup job

alleviates the need to repeatedly answer the same

questions every time a new job is added.

At least one profile must be created for each

backup type

to be performed. When the

software is first installed, a set of pre-defined backup profiles, one for each backup
type, is automatically installed. These profiles are not required and may be removed
if desired.

After creating a single backup profile, any options selected for that profile, except the backup type, may be
customized for each backup job it is assigned to. Therefore, it is only necessary to create a single backup
profile for each backup type, but you may want to create different profiles for a single backup type to prevent
having to change the options for different jobs.

Adding a Backup Profile

A new profile may be added by selecting

Configure

!Backup Profiles

from the menu bar.

When the software is initially installed, a set of pre-defined profiles are provided. There is one pre-defined
profile for each type of backup. You may choose to edit any of these profiles, delete them, or add new ones of
your own.

The Backup Type options may vary depending on the operating system support and
additional features enabled. Refer to

Operating Systems Support

and

Enabling

Optional Features

for more information.


When choosing a different backup type, the options on the screen will change to only display those that apply to
the selected backup type. The following is an example of a System Backup profile when support for all UNIX
client types is enabled:
