Source and Destination Options
Backup definitions come with a comprehensive set of defaults source and
destination settings, such as tape-handling and data verification techniques, that
simplify the definition creation process. These settings control how Backup Express
for GuardianOS behaves during a backup or restore operation when it encounters
certain situations involving files and nodes. The defaults are preset to optimize
performance in most environments; you should not need to alter them. If you
should find you need to change one of the default settings, you can do so from the
Job Defaults menu.
To view or change default settings
On the Configuration Menu, click the
Defaults
button. On the Job Defaults menu
that opens, click on one of the four buttons to display a dialog box in which you can
set default options. Thereafter, the new settings are applied automatically to any
new backup or restore definition you create.
Tip
Do not enable software compression. To do so will negatively impact
performance.
Scheduling Backup and Restore Operations
Both backup and restore operations can be scheduled to run immediately or
periodically. When defining a backup operation, you can use either a preset
schedule or a custom schedule; when defining a restore operation, you must use a
custom schedule.
To schedule a backup or restore operation, click the Stopwatch button along the top
of the Backup Definition or the Restore Definition screen. The Scheduler dialog box
opens.
