Scheduling backups
IMPORTANT:
• Before you schedule alternate location backups, install a tape library or other physical device and
add it to the same Data Protector Express Management Domain as your HP Storage System.
• Installing a tape library that can accommodate the media rotation type required by your environ-
ment requires tape storage management experience. See
http://www.hp.com/sbso/serverstorage/ultimate.html to learn more about tape storage.
1. On the Data Protection page in any wizard, select Tape or Other Device Backup.
2. Select the device for the virtual library to reside in the Device list.
3. Select Modify Advanced Properties. This will open the Data Protection Advanced Properties
window.
4. Select Schedule backups to tape or another device to enable backups on a tape library or physical
device.
5. Select Schedule backups to a local virtual library to enable backups on a virtual library that
resides on this HP Storage System.
6. Select a Data Protector Express media rotation type from the list.
7. Type or use the arrows to indicate a time for the backup to begin.
8. For alternate location backups, select the device for the virtual library to reside.
9. For local virtual library backups, select the size for the virtual library. A default value will be
recommended, based on the selected rotation type and component size. Click Modify advanced
storage properties to modify advanced storage settings such as RAID level and stripe size. See
“Setting advanced storage properties” on page 23 for more information on advanced properties.
10. Click OK.
11. After you have selected and configured all data protection settings, click Next.
Modifying backup job properties in Data Protector Express
Although it is not required, after you finish creating a backup job using a wizard or a components
property page, you can modify the backup job properties in Data Protector Express. For example,
you may want to enable encryption or customize a media rotation type.
1. Launch Data Protector Express.
2. On the login window:
a. Enter localhost in the Host name field.
b. Enter ASMbackup in the User name field.
CAUTION:
The default password for ASMbackup is blank. It can be changed in the Command
Line Interface (CLI).
c. Click OK.
