SnapBack Live! 115
Update the Model Workstation
Configure whatever changes are necessary on the model
machine. These can include new software and data
installations, configuration changes, or application
deletions.
Create the Differential Backup
Make a SnapBack Dup backup of the workstation as usual,
except select “New SnapBack Dup Differential Image”.
You will be prompted to select a base image and a name for
the differential image.
Dup will create a backup image consisting only of those
sectors that are different from the sectors in the base image.
This can be used in conjunction with compression to create
remarkably small image files.
Restoring a Differential Image
Differential images appear on the standard Dup image
selection menu and are processed in the usual manner.
During restore, Dup will fetch unchanged sector images
from the base file and changed sectors from the difference
file.
Controlling Image Placement
Dup normally stores differential and base images in the
same directory on the file server. You can change the
storage locations using the “/BASE” and “/IMAGE”
command line options. See the section “SnapBack Dup
Command Options” for a complete description.
DUP
If you place base images in a different directory, you must
move them from the image directory to the base directory.
During backup and restore, Dup displays images from both
areas.
