Customizing Backup
You can customize your backup using the Advanced Backup Options form
when you use SBCON at the server to launch your backup program. This form
allows you to specify exactly what you want to back up data. It could be the
server, the eDirectory database, workstation, directory, or file. You can even
specify subsets of groups. The Advanced Backup Options form activates only
after you have selected at least one of the resources (directory/file). Select
Advanced Options from the Backup Options form to perform advanced
backup sessions. See “Backing Up from the Server” on page 50.
HINT: SBCON displays prompts and messages at the bottom of the screen. For
example, you can press F1 for help at any time.
If you want to perform a series of backups and restores and need to change your
target, see “Changing Your Target” on page 61.
A custom backup allows you to specify exactly what you want to back up:
server, volume, the eDirectory database, workstation, directory, or file.
To customize a backup, do the following:
1 Select Backup Options > Advanced Options.
2 Select Backup Type.
By default, Storage Management Engine (SME) performs a full backup.
See “Backup Types” on page 16. Differential and incremental backups
are not interchangeable. See “Planning a Backup Schedule” on page 21.
IMPORTANT: If you choose to include migrated data, ensure that your backup
media capacity matches the jukebox media capacity.
