The application verifies that the backup device exists and that the server can write to it.
If the device does not exist or is not writable, an error message displays that states you have
entered an invalid device. Click OK to go back to the Options dialog box and fix the error.
Backup occurs, if needed, at the interval you specified.
Configuring backup to a network drive
To back up to a network drive, your workstation can be either in the same domain or in the same
workgroup. However, you must have rights to copy files for the network drive.
NOTE
The Management application should not directly access local or network resources through mapped
drive letters. When the Management application must access a remote resource (or any process
that is running in a different security context), you should use the Universal Naming Convention
(UNC) name to access the resource. For more information about services and redirected drives, refer
to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/180362/en-us.
NOTE
Configuring backup to a network drive is not supported on UNIX systems.
NOTE
It is recommended that this configuration be completed on the Local client (the client application
running on the Server) so that the backup path and location can be confirmed.
To configure the backup function to a network drive, complete the following steps.
1. Select Server > Options.
The Options dialog box displays.
2. Select Server Backup in the Category list.
The currently defined directory displays in the Backup Output Directory field.
3. Select the Enable Backup check box, if necessary.
