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.
