Backup

Backing Up Windows Systems

The Disk Agent client must have the Inet service configured using an account with access to the shared disks. This must be a specific user account, not the system account. See “Setting the User Account for the Data Protector Inet Service” on page 187 for more information on how to use the appropriate logon account.

Once you have set the user account for the Inet service, you can back up the shared disks as though they were residing on the local system.

1.In the Data Protector Manager, switch to the Backup context.

2.Expand the Backups item, and then double-click Backup Specifications.

3.Right-click Filesystem, and then Add Backup.

4.In the Create New Backup dialog box, select one of the available templates, and then click OK to open the wizard.

5.On the first page of the wizard, in the drop-down list, select Network Share Backup.

You have to map the shared drives using the Backup wizard.

If you are using the GUI on a UNIX system, it is not possible for the system to confirm the existence of a Windows shared drive, or to browse it. Therefore, when specifying a Windows shared drive/directory, you must confirm yourself that it is available and correctly specified, or the backup will fail.

6.Click Map Network Share. The Browse Network Shares dialog box opens.

7.In the Client System drop-down list, select the client with the Disk Agent that will be used to back up the remote system.

8.Select the shared disk. It appears in the Share Name text box.

Share names containing spaces are not supported.
