character name for the task.

5. Select a time to run the task, then click Next. See Specifying when to run tasks on page

262.

6. The Specify RPM System Backup Properties dialog box will appear.

a. Type the directory location in which to create the system backup, which may be a

physical local drive on the Rack Power Manager server or a shared network location

specified by a UNC (Universal Naming Convention) path. The Location field cannot

be set to a mapped network drive. The directory name must be entered in case sensitive

text if your operating system supports case sensitive filenames.

b. If the specified directory location is a network path that requires a login, enable the

password and confirm the password of a user account that has read/write access to the

network share location.

c. To encrypt the created system backup file, enable the Encrypt Backup File checkbox,

then type a password to lock and unlock the encrypted file.

d. To append the date and time (in military time) to the end of the system backup

filename, enable the Use date and time for file naming checkbox. For example, if you

are creating the backup file on October 1, 2005 at 10:04 pm, the file created will be

named rpmBackup1001052204.zip.

If a system backup file already exists in the specified directory and this option

is not enabled, the existing backup file will be overwritten when the new

backup file is created.

7. Click Finish.
