ezRAID3 Manager GUI Version 1.0
EMC Retrospect Express
If you have already installed the EMC Retrospect Express application on your computer, that
backup application package will appear in the drop-down list in the Backup Button dialog.
You can then select the EMC Retrospect Express item from that list.
Click on the Apply button to apply your selection.
You can then press the “
Backup Button” push-button on the SteelVine Storage Reference
Design platform, which will launch the Retrospect Express application extension that was
installed as part of that package. The first time you launch that application extension, you
will be prompted to configure the backup job parameters (such as source and destination
directories). Thereafter, whenever you press the “
Backup Button” push-button on the
SteelVine Storage Reference Design, the specified backup job will automatically begin.
While the backup job is running, the Backup LED on the SteelVine Storage Reference
Design will blink, and additional button presses will be ignored until the backup job has
completed. When the backup job is completed, the Backup LED will return to its normal
state.
Other Third-Party Applications
If you do not have the EMC Retrospect Express application installed on your computer, you
can browse for any other application program.
Select the “Select Other Backup application” item from the drop-down list; then use the
“
Browse” button to navigate to the folder that contains the application program. On a
Windows system, you can select an executable file (with a filename extension of
.exe) or you
can create a text file (with an extension of
.cmd) that contains one or more commands
consisting of program names and command line parameters, and ends with an “
exit”
command, similar to a DOS batch file (
.bat).
