HP B6960-90078 Backing Up Windows Clients Using Disk Discovery, Event Logs, User Disk Quotas

	Backing Up Windows Systems
	See also “Warnings When Backing Up System Disks” on page 263.
Event Logs	Event logs are files where the Windows operating system saves
	information about events, such as starting and stopping services or the
	logging on and logging off of a user.
User Disk Quotas	User Disk Quotas enable enhanced tracking and control over disk space
	usage on Windows 2000.
	Data Protector backs up user disk quotas on the whole system and for all
	configured users at a time.
	Event Logs, User Profiles, and User Disk Quotas are always backed up if
	CONFIGURATION was selected in the Backup wizard.
	See Figure 5-11, “Windows 2000/XP/Server 2003 CONFIGURATION.”,
	and refer to “Example of Creating a Backup Specification” on page 155
	for a step-by-step procedure.
	Backing Up Windows Clients Using Disk Discovery
	You can use disk discovery by specifying the client as a data source. If
	another disk is added later, it will be included in the backup.
How Are Disks	If you specify a client backup with disk discovery, Data Protector contacts
Discovered?	the client and discovers all logical disk drives that belong to physical
	disks on the client, except for CDs and removable drives. Then it backs
	up the CONFIGURATION folder and each discovered logical drive as a
	regular filesystem. The description text of each filesystem object will be
	generated by appending the drive letter in square brackets to the
	description of the Client Backup.

When to Use Disk This backup type is recommended under the following circumstances:

Discovery

•When backing up systems with relatively small disks

•When performing a whole system backup to prepare for disaster recovery

•When the number of disks connected to the system varies.

For a client backup with disk discovery, it is not possible to select only specific directory trees, because this implies a single logical drive backup. It is, however, possible to exclude any directory from the backup.
