The Backup Progress window displays the system state data being backed up.

Backing Up Data Volumes

To back up your volumes, you can use direct-attached local backups or network backups. In a direct-attached backup, the NAS system is backed up to an external tape device connected directly to the system. In a network backup, the NAS system is backed up to LAN-attached backup servers.

The following software is supported for direct-attached local backups:

•Microsoft® Windows® Server 2003 backup and restore tools

•VERITAS™ Backup Exec® Server Professional 9.1 for Windows NT®, Windows 2000, and Windows Server 2003

•Yosemite TapeWare 7.0

The following software is supported for remote network backups:

•VERITAS Backup Exec Server Professional 9.1 for Windows NT, Windows 2000, and Windows Server 2003

•Yosemite TapeWare 7.0

Windows Backup and Restore Tools

Windows backup and restore tools allow you to back up your data volumes to a locally attached tape drive or to a file.

NOTE: You must have a supported SCSI card installed and connected to a tape drive that is installed to back up your data volumes to tape.

You can access the backup and restore tools by clicking the Maintenance tab on the NAS Manager primary menu and clicking Backup.

For more information, see the online help for backup and restore.

Third-Party Backup Software

You can back up your data volumes locally or over the network to LAN-attached backup servers.

Using Third-Party Backup Software for Network Backups

For network backups, you must already have a backup server installed on the network. It is also recommended that you use the network accelerator agents provided by your backup software to improve network backup performance.

Installing Network Accelerator Agents

VERITAS Backup Exec network accelerator agent can be installed remotely on the NAS system from a remote system on the network.

See your backup software documentation for more information on installing the network accelerator agents.
