If you plan to back up your data to disk, the best practice is to use disk staging, rather than backing up data to a file system device (FSD). Disk staging lets you do the following:
To ensure that the migration job continues when one of the devices become unavailable, you can set a timeout value for additional backup media to continue the migration job in another device. If you do not set a timeout value, then the data migration job fails after the first backup media timeout completes. For more details about setting the timeout value, see Backup Manager Backup Media Options.
Before you can back up data using disk staging, you must perform the following tasks:
Important! Staging backup operations can quickly consume a large amount of free disk space on FSDs. Due to the maximum file size limitations of FAT 16 and FAT 32 file systems, you should not use these file systems on FSDs designated for staging operations.
The following sections provide you with information about how to configure Arcserve Backup to perform staging backups.
