Description

Back up the media server now using default settings

This method backs up the local media server by using the default settings. You cannot select data or set options for the backup. The backup job is submitted immediately using your default logon account and the default backup selections and settings.

Backup Exec can back up the following types of data with this method:

  • Local drives that do not use removable media

  • Lotus Domino resources

  • Microsoft SQL Server databases

  • Microsoft SharePoint Portal Server

  • Microsoft Exchange 2000 Information Store

  • Microsoft Exchange 2000 Key Management Service (KMS) and Site Replication Service (SRS)

You cannot back up the following types of data with this method:

  • Microsoft SQL Server filegroup resources

  • Microsoft SharePoint Portal Server workspaces

  • Microsoft Exchange individual mailboxes and public folders

  • Microsoft Exchange 2000 installable filesystem (IFS) drive (usually M:)

In addition, you cannot run this type of backup job in a cluster environment or in a Central Admin Server Option environment.

If you want to perform this type of backup job on a system where backup-to-disk folders are located, Symantec recommends that you add the backup-to-disk folders to the Excludes Selection List. If you do not exclude backup-to-disk folders, data is continuously added to the folders during the backup job, which uses all the free drive space.

Create a backup job with custom settings

This method guides you through the process of creating a backup job.The wizard prompts you to select options. However, many of the backup job settings are based on the default settings.

If you have experience with Backup Exec, you can create a backup job by setting the properties you want.
