13. Backup Jobs
A backup job must be created before any backup may be performed by the admin system. A job is not required
when running a backup from the client using the stbackup command. The job information will identify the
backup server, one or more clients to backup (when using Network Edition), the backup profile, and the device
on the backup server to send the backup to. If the backup is to be scheduled to run either at a later time or on a
regular basis, the dates and times are also added to the backup job information. Temporary backup jobs which
are run only once may also be set to be automatically deleted once the job has completed.
Before configuring a backup job, when using Network Edition, you must first have configured at least one client
to backup and a backup server to backup to (even if the client and server are the same). There must also be at
least one
for the type of backup to be performed (several sample profiles come installed with the
software). On the job configuration screen, you can customize the selected backup profile to apply changes
which apply only to the job, if desired.
Clients may only be assigned to a backup job which uses a backup profile
compatible with the operating system type of the client. For instance, an AIX client
cannot be added to a backup job using a
Raw Partition
backup profile since AIX
systems do not support partitions.
