4 Configuring An Automatic Backup
This chapter tells you how to use the Replica's Configuration Wizard to quickly
set up the automatic backup of server volumes on a regular schedule.
The chapter also provides a section on performing an immediate, "off-schedule"
backup of the server volumes you designated for automatic backup with the
Wizard.
Using Replica Shortcuts
Replica's major functions are available as desktop shortcuts. Using these "one-
button" shortcuts, you can quickly configure an automatic backup or restore lost
files without having to navigate complex arrays of menus and windows. (You
also have the option of opening the Replica application through the Program
Manager.)
A Configuration Wizard shortcut starts a Wizard that walks you
through a complete configuration in just a few minutes.
An immediate backup shortcut starts Replica and performs an
immediate backup of the volumes you designated for backup with the
configuration Wizard.
A restore files shortcut starts the Replica application and displays the
Mount window where you prepare for file restoration by mounting the
backup tape as a server volume.
Creating a Backup Configuration (Windows NT)
The Configuration Wizard is your starting point for setting up your Replica
backups. With the Wizard, it is easy to create a configuration that backs up
specified server volumes on a regular schedule.
The Wizard walks you through a complete configuration--prompting you to
identify the location of the tape drive, choose the volumes that you want backed
up, and specify a time of day for backup to occur.
