Before Starting Backup Exec For best results before starting Backup Exec, review the following guidelines.
Note: For more detailed information on the below topics, see the Symantec
Backup Exec for Windows Servers Administrator’s Guide.
• Make sure your storage devices are connected and configured
properly.
• Decide if your backup will be to a tape device or a disk device. You can
configure both devices when you prepare your Backup Exec
environment.
• If you’re backing up to a tape device, verify that the device is supported.
You can install drivers for the devices when you configure your Backup
Exec environment.
• If you’re backing up to a disk device using the Backup-to-Disk feature,
decide where you can create a backup folder. You should create it on a
disk that won’t be included in the backup jobs and that has enough free
space to contain the backup job.
• Understand how Backup Exec provides overwrite protection for your
media.
