Specify the Advanced Settings

The Advanced tab lets you specify some advanced settings for the backup job. The advanced settings include providing the backup throughput and pre/post script settings.

Follow these steps:

  1. Click the Advanced tab.
  2. Specify the throttle backup value.

    Applicable only when the backup destination is a local or a shared folder.

    You can specify the maximum speed (MB/min) at which backups are written. You can throttle the backup speed to reduce CPU or network use. However, limiting the backup speed has an adverse effect on the backup window. As you lower the maximum backup speed, it increases the amount of time of perform the backup.

    Note: By default, the Throttle Backup option is not enabled and backup speed is not being controlled.

  3. Specify your pre-backup settings and post-backup settings in Pre/Post script Settings.

    These scripts run script commands for actions to take before the start of the job and/or upon the completion of the job.

    Note: The Pre/Post Script Settings fields are populated only if you have already created a script file and placed it at the following location of Linux Backup Server:

    /opt/Arcserve/d2dserver/usr/prepost

    Note: For more information about creating the pre/post scripts, see Manage Pre/Post Scripts for Automation.

  4. Click Enable Email Alerts to specify the Email Settings and select job alerts..

    Applicable only when the backup destination is Arcserve Recovery Point Server.

  5. Click Save.

    The changes are saved.

The backup plan is created and automatically deployed to the source node. The backup runs per the schedule that you have configured in the Schedule tab. You can also perform a manual backup at any time.

Now, you can add the following tasks to the plan:
