Perform a Staging Backup of a NAS Server

Before you start this procedure, verify that the staging group has been dynamically shared between the Arcserve Backup Server and the NAS filer.

Note: Both tape staging and disk staging can be enabled for NAS filer to server backup jobs.

To perform a staging backup of a NAS server

1. Open the Backup Manager and select Enable Staging.
2. Click the Source tab and then expand a NAS server.

   The volumes on the server are displayed.

3. Select the volumes for backup.
4. Click the Schedule tab and then select the Repeat or Rotation Method.

   If you have more than one drive in each group, the repeating job can be submitted as every 5 minutes. If you only have one drive in each group, the repeating rate can be longer.

5. Click the Staging Location tab and select the staging group that you want for the staging backup.
6. Click the Policies tab and specify the staging policies you want applied.

   Note: For more information about the Staging Policy options, see the Administration Guide.

7. Click the Destination tab and select the destination for the staging backup job.

   You can either select another NAS group or the same NAS group if it has more than one drive.

8. Click Submit in the toolbar.

   The staging backup job starts or is scheduled to be executed.
