Schedule
Backups
You can schedule up to eight different backups, each comprising a
portion of the file system or the entire file system. Use the
Backup/Restore Æ Schedule
page.
Each entry in the backup schedule consists of the file set to back up,
the backup options, and the day and time to perform the backup.
Select a schedule entry to add or edit, and click the
[Edit]
button.
In the schedule, specify the day of the week and the time for the
backup. If the
Once Only
checkbox is unfilled, the backup will be
run every week on the day and time specified.
Use the file system display to specify files to back up, as described
in “Specify What to Back Up” on page 9-4. Specify any option
changes, as described in “Specify Options” on page 9-5.
Click the
[OK]
button to schedule the entry as specified on this page.
Note ❏
Ensure that a properly labeled, write-enabled tape will be
inserted in the selected drive at the scheduled time. Ensure
that the tape is unloaded after recording by manually unloading
it or by specifying
Unload/Eject Tape on Completion
on the
Backup Options
page; otherwise, the next backup will be
recorded over the earlier one. (Note that on HP DLT drives, the
tape
will not be ejected
when unloaded, merely made
inaccessible for further recording until manually reloaded.)
Making a Disaster
Recovery Backup
Tape
HP recommends that you plan for the recovery of both the file
system and the configuration on the server. The loss of the RAID
volume will result in the loss of configuration information stored on
the volume in addition to the file data. This configuration
information includes shares, users, groups, passwords, and backup
schedules. These files are stored on the volume in the
c/system/
config/
directory. You can back up these files up in the same way
you back up your data files. (You can include them on the same
backups with data files, as long as earlier versions of these data
files will not end up on other backup tapes needed for full restoral.)
To back up the above files, you should make a disaster recovery
tape or tapes that include the
c/system/config/
directory, as
well as the parent directory structure of the data file sets that are
essential to your operations. To include the backup and event logs,
back up the
c/system/
directory instead of
c/system/config/
.
