Backing Up Files Between Servers

Note: This task can be done by an administrator only.

The Backup Manager is in the BlackArmor Manager’s Storage menu. For step-by-step instruc- tions for backing up files between servers, refer to the BlackArmor Manager online Help.

To begin a backup to or from an external USB drive, insert the drive into an available USB port on the BlackArmor server (see page 11 for help locating the server’s USB ports), then open BlackArmor Manager (see page 17). The Backup Manager is in the Storage menu.
