Backing Up Your System

Backing up your Server - Now

Server backup is straightforward using SnapBack. Specify which drives to back up, which tape drive (or drives) will

record the image, and when the backup should occur.

Selecting the Backup Drives

All drives available for backup will be listed on the left of the screen in the Source Box, under the heading Available

Items For Backup.

Select each item to be backed up by highlighting the drive and clicking the ADD button, right click and select ADD

from the drop down menu or Drag and Drop the item into the Items Selected for Backup window. The selection will

move into the Items Selected For Backup box. You may add as many drives as you like to the backup set. You may

remove drives from the selected backup following this same process.

Note: Even though the display image shows partitions and volumes, the selection is for complete hard drives.

SnapBack saves entire drive images.

Select the Backup Destination

Click on the Destination tab to view all tape devices attached to the system. To select a destination device, highlight

the device in the Available Tape Drives box and click the ADD button, or right click the item and select ADD from

the drop down menu. If you only have one backup device SnapBack will automatically select it.

If you have more than one tape device, you can select a single device or Cascade from one drive to another. To

Cascade, select the tape drives in the order you wish to use them. To Span or Cascade, you must enable the setting in

the Configuration Menu .

Click Backup Now and SnapBack will immediately start the backup and display the status screen.
