11. Backup Jobs
A backup job must be created before any backup may be performed by the admin system. The job information
will identify the TSM server and one or more clients to backup and the backup profile. 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, you must first have configured at least one
to backup and a
to backup to (even if the client and server are the same). There must also be at least one System
(a default profile comes 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.
Creating a Backup Job

1. Select
Configure
!Backup Jobs

2. Press
the

button on the

The following
Configure Backup Job will be displayed:
To create a new backup job, enter the
Backup Job ID in the entry field at the top. The Job ID is used as unique
identifier for this job, and may consist of any letters or numbers except for a colon (:) or space (spaces will be
automatically replaced with an underscore).
Next, you must select an entry in the
Server Name field (see below). Additional required fields include the
Profile Name and the Clients to backup. All other settings will provide a default value. If you did not define the
VG(s) or Zpools(s) to include (or all) in the backup profile, you may need to enter this information now.
