Backups
Choosing a good backup plan, and scheduling regular backups, are
important to the efficient operation of the system. Regularly scheduled
backups reduce the time needed to perform backups and guarantee the
most recent information is always available to users.
If you are responsible for managing backups on the system, your
responsibilities include the following:
• Designing a backup schedule
• Scheduling and performing regular backups
• Storing and maintaining backup media.
Backup Management
The Backup Management screen displays the current backup schedule
and provides a history of recent backups on the system including:
• Type of backup (full or partial)
• Date the backup was performed
• Number of tapes required for the backup
• Device on which the backup was performed
• Time needed to complete the backup
To access Backup Management:
1. Move the cursor to Backup Management on the Main menu.
2. Press either F3,
Return key, or the Spacebar.
