9. Backup Profile

A backup profile is used to set default backup selections commonly used when performing 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. When the software is first installed, a pre-
defined FULL_SYSTEM backup profile is automatically installed. This profiles is not
required if you create others, and may be removed if desired.

After creating a single backup profile, any options selected for that profile may be customized for each backup
job it is assigned to. You may want to create different profiles 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.

There is one pre-defined profile configured when the software is installed. You may choose to edit this profile,
delete it, or add new ones of your own.

The 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.

The following is an example of a

System Backup profile when Linux, Solaris and AIX client support is

enabled:

To add a new profile, enter a new

Profile Name in the entry field at the top of the screen. A profile name may

consist of any characters except a colon (:) or space (spaces will be changed to underscores).
