Backup Button

This feature allows you to launch a pre-configured backup software application by simply

pressing a push button on the SteelVine Storage Reference Design. The backup button supports

the EMC Retrospect Express (version 6.5 or later) backup application; if that application

software is installed on your system, you can associate that backup application to the Backup

Button through the SteelVine Manager GUI. When you press the Backup Button on the

SteelVine Storage Reference Design, the specified application software will be started, and the

LED's on the SteelVine Storage Reference Design will give a visual indication of the progress of

the specified backup job and let you know when the backup is completed. Alternatively, you can

specify the full pathname for another third-party application program, although any parameters

of that application must be specified outside of the SteelVine Manager GUI.
