Verify backup when complete: If you want to automatically verify a backup by re-reading the data on
the backup media once the backup completes, check this button. Note, however, that an automatic
verify will not be performed if you are using a single tape drive or
and the
backup has spanned more than one tape volume. This is because user-intervention would be required
to begin the verify process at the first volume. However, if you are using a
, the
first tape will be automatically re-inserted into the drive before the verify process begins. When a verify
process ends (unless you specified to rewind at end of backup in the profile), the tape will be set to the
end of the backup data for this job to allow for additional jobs to be appended, if desired.
•
Create Boot Media: This option is only available with System Backup profiles. This option will create
or update boot media for every client selected in the backup. Network or CDROM boot media can be
created (or both), and be automatically transferred to the server selected. In the first field, select the
type of boot media to create. In the second field you can select the server to store the boot media from
the client, or select to keep the boot media on the client.
•
Copy backup when completed: This option may be used only when the backup media is a directory,a
and is not available for Workstation Edition. It allows you to configure the automatic copying of the
completed backup to secondary media (any destination media type is supported) each time the backup
job completes. This process may be performed manually for any completed backups as described in
the chapter
Copying Backups to Different Media
. When selected, additional options appear for
configuring the automatic copying, as described in the section
below.
Scheduling the Backup
The
Backup Schedule
box to the right of the screen contains entry fields for backups that are to be
scheduled. You need to indicate in the section when the backup should be performed:
1. Upon Demand – Selecting this option will save the job information but only run when you choose
to do so manually. When selecting this option, all other options in this box will be disabled.
2. Later - The job will be run only once at a specified date and time. You will need to enter in the
remaining fields a single date and time the backup should run.
3. Regularly - The job will be scheduled to run on a regular basis on specific days and times. You
may enter multiple options in each of the date and time fields to have the backup run multiple days
per week, only on certain days of the week, or even multiple times in a single day. When this
option is selected, you may also press the
Holidays
button to specify certain days, contrary to your
backup schedule, on which the backup should NOT run. Refer to
section for more details.
If you set the backup to run only "Upon Demand", all other fields in this section will be grayed out and no
entries will be accepted. Otherwise, you must enter information into these fields indicating when the backup
is to be run. The easiest way to enter the data into these fields is by pressing the arrow to the right of each
field and selecting from the popup list.
If the backup is to run "Later", only one option may be selected from each list.
If the backup is to run "Regularly", more than one option may be selected in each field, and there will be an
"all" option at the top of the Month and Day of Month fields, and an "any" option will appear for Days of
Week field. Selecting "all" in both the month and day of month fields indicates the job should run on all days
of all months. Select "any" for the day of week field to indicate that the job should run on any day of the
week. Otherwise, the job will run only on the days of week indicated. Note that, if you make an entry in the
Days of Week field and the Days of Month field is not set to "all", then the job will be run on the specified
days of the month only if they occur on the specified days of the week.
