Submit Dynamic Backup Jobs Containing Arcserve D2D Data

Arcserve Backup lets you back up Arcserve D2D data dynamically. Dynamic packaging means that the content of your selection is determined when the job runs.

For example, if you choose to back up a source group or a server, and the nodes or volumes listed on that source group or server change between the time you scheduled the job and the time the job runs, the nodes and volumes changed from the time the job actually runs are backed up.

Follow these steps:

  1. Open the Backup Manager and click the Start tab.

    The backup types appear.

  2. Select Normal backup and then click the Source tab.

    The Source directory tree appears.

  3. Select Classic View from the drop-down list.

    Expand the Arcserve D2D Proxy Servers object and browse proxy server containing the Arcserve D2D servers that you want to back up.

    Click the check box next to the D2D proxy server containing the Arcserve D2D servers that you want to back up.

    The proxy server is packaged dynamically.

    Note: You can apply the dynamic packaging approach to Arcserve D2D proxy servers and Arcserve D2D Central Host-Based VM Backup proxy servers.

  4. Click the Schedule tab and specify the schedule that you want to use for the backup job.

    Note: For more information, see Rotation Schemes and Custom Schedules.

  5. Click the Destination tab.

    The Destination groups directory tree appears.

  6. Specify the group that you want to use to store the backup data.

    The storage group is applied.

  7. Click Options on the toolbar.

    The Options dialog opens.

  8. Specify the options that you require for the job.

    Note: For more information, see Global Backup Options.

    Click OK.

    The backup options are applied.

  9. (Optional) Expand the contents of the computer.

    Select a drive or volume contained in the computer.

    Repeat the previous two steps to apply backup options to the specified drive or volume.

    (Optional) Repeat this step for all drives or volumes in the computer.

  10. Click Submit on the toolbar.

    The Submit Job dialog opens.

  11. Complete the required fields on the Submit Job dialog and click OK.

    The job is submitted.
