HP B6960-90078 manual Key Points, Example of Creating a Backup Specification

		Backup
		Configuring a Backup
Key Points	•	The backup type (full or incremental) is the same for the whole
		backup session. All data in a group is backed up using the same
		backup type.
	•	A backup object can be added to multiple backup specifications. For
		example, you may have one backup specification for full backups, one
		for incremental backups, one for a departmental backup, and one for
		the archive backup. You can give a description for each object. It is
		important that you choose the description carefully, because this lets
		you differentiate among various backups from the same filesystem.
	•	Objects or clients can be grouped into one backup specification if the
		media and the backups are managed in the same way, or if media are
		put into a vault.
	•	If many backup specifications exist or are planned, you should
		structure them in groups of backup specifications. If the groups are
		structured along common option settings (how to back up), then you
		can apply the backup templates efficiently.
	•	The Data Protector GUI can display a limited number of backup
		specifications. The number of backup specifications depends on the
		size of their parameters (name, group, ownership information and
		information about whether the backup specification is load balanced
		or not). This size should not exceed 80 Kb.
	Example of Creating a Backup Specification
	The following example shows how to create a backup specification for a
	filesystem and how to start the backup interactively.
	1.	In the HP OpenView Storage Data Protector Manager window,
		switch to the Backup context.
	2.	In the Scoping Pane, expand Backup, and then double-click Backup
		Specifications.
	3.	In the Results Area, right-click Filesystem, and then click Add
		Backup. The Create New Backup dialog box appears.
	4.	In the Create New Backup dialog box, select the Blank Filesystem
		Backup template, and then click OK to start the Backup wizard. See
		Figure 5-2 on page 156.
