Create a Backup Plan with a UNC/NFS Path Task

A backup plan includes a backup task that performs a backup of a physical node and stores data to a specified destination. Each task consists of parameters that define the source, destination, schedule, and other backup details.

Follow these steps:

  1. Log into Arcserve UDP Console.
  2. Click the resources tab.
  3. From the left pane, navigate to Plans, and then click All Plans.
  4. If you have created plans earlier, those plans are displayed on the center pane.
  5. On the center pane, click Add a Plan.
  6. The Add a Plan page opens.
  7. Enter a plan name.
  8. (Optional) Select the Pause this plan check box.
  9. The plan will not run until you clear the check box to resume the plan.
    • Note: If a plan is paused, then any in-progress job is not paused but all corresponding scheduled jobs associated with that plan are paused. However, you can manually run a job. For example, you can manually run backup job and replication job for a node even if the respective plan is paused. In such case, the following task to the on-demand (manual) job does not run. For example, there is a replication task after an on-demand backup job, the replication job does not run for the on-demand backup job. You need to manually run the replication job. When you resume the plan, the pending jobs do not resume immediately. After you resume the plan, the pending jobs run from the next scheduled time.
  10. From the Task Type drop-down list, select Backup: Files on UNC/NFS Path.
  11. Now specify the Source, Destination, Schedule, and Advanced details.
