49 Setting up the Dell™ DR Series System on Symantec™ NetBackup™ | July 2015
3.1.2 Backing up using NetBackup virtual synthetic backup
1. Before running backup, ensure that you have decided on a backup mode to use: Passthrough or
Dedupe. This can be done by setting the RDA mode in the DR Series system command line interface
(CLI), as shown in the following example screenshot.
Note: You can schedule the backups or run them at a convenient time. This procedure uses a manual
backup configuration.
2. Under Netbackup Management > Policies, right-click the policy created in the previous procedure
and select Manual Backup to run the backup manually.
