Creating and Maintaining Backup Jobs

A backup job describes what and how data is to be backed up when the job is run. From the Tape Backup

main menu, select 1. Backup Jobs, then either choose the letter of the job you wish to edit or enter 1. Add to

create a new job. If you’ve picked an existing job, you may enter 2. Edit to alter the job parameters or

8. Delete to delete the job from the database.

To add or edit parameters for a backup job:

1. Enter the name of the job.

2. Enter the Backup all setting. If set to anything but zero, your entire system will be backed up. If you

wish to backup the entire system, indicate how the backup will be performed using the following

codes:

• F: A full backup of all data, regardless of modification and last backup information.

• D: A differential backup only of data changed since the last full backup, as determined by the

archive bit on each object.

• A: A full backup without the archive bit being reset.

• I: An incremental backup of the data changed since either the last incremental or last full

backup.

3. Enter Y or N to backup special system data for disaster recovery.

4. If desired, enter a comment annotating all executions of this job.

5. Enter one or more directories to be backed up. If you enter the root directory of a volume, the entire

volume will be backed up. For each entry, use the following codes to indicate how the backup will be

performed:

• F: A full backup of all data, regardless of modification and last backup information.

• D: A differential backup only of data changed since the last full backup, as determined by the

archive bit on each object.

• A: A full backup without the archive bit being reset.

• I: An incremental backup of the data changed since either the last incremental or last full backup.
