Using Backup Templates

	Using Backup Templates
Overview	Data Protector backup templates are a powerful tool that can help you
	simplify your backup configuration. A template has a set of clearly
	specified options for a backup specification, which you can use as a base
	for creating and modifying backup specifications. Data Protector enables
	you to apply a group of options offered by the template.
	A template can be used in two ways:
	• It can be used to create a new backup specification.
	• It can be applied to existing backup specifications to modify these
	specifications.
	Backup templates are created and modified similarly to backup
	specifications, except that objects and the backup application
	configuration are not selected within the backup template.
	Data Protector Default Backup Templates
	Data Protector offers you default templates for different types of data
	(Filesystem, Oracle8/SAP, and so on) to configure a filesystem or an
	application backup. The templates provide typical settings, which can be
	used as a basis for your backup specifications.
Blank Backup	In blank backup templates, such as Blank Filesystem Backup, Blank
Templates	Informix Backup, and so on, there are no objects or devices selected.
	Backup specification options and object options have Data Protector
	default values, and there is no backup schedule. You can separately
	select the Load balanced option, enabling Data Protector to
	automatically balance the usage of devices selected for the backup.
	Options Offered by Templates
	When using a backup template for creating or modifying a backup
	specification, you can select or deselect options offered by the template.
