Set name | Enter the name of the backup set |
Set type | Select the type |
Online | Creates a full featured backup set of any kind (File system, Database, etc.). |
Self-Contained | Creates a Self-Contained backup set that performs backup and restore using only local storage. • The Local Storage Path must be set (Setup Menu > DS-Client Configuration > Parameters Tab) |
Local-Only | Creates a Local-Only backup set that performs backup and restore using only local storage. This is similar to Self-Contained, except there are no limits on the number of backup sets, and the total capacity stored is licensed from the DS-System. • The Local-Only Tool must be enabled for this DS-Client (by your service provider from the DS-System). • The Local Storage Path must be set (Setup Menu > DS-Client Configuration > Parameters Tab) |
Statistical | Creates a "virtual backup set" – one that collects backup statistics, but does not physically backup data. |
Calculate transmit amount (Statistical backup sets) | This box appears when a Statistical backup set type is selected. Check to emulate an actual backup transfer process. During statistical backups, specified backup files will be read from their source and processed for compression/encryption. |
BLM (Infinite Generations) (Backup Lifecycle Management module must be enabled) | Backup sets are configured to save a specific number of generations. Once a backup item reaches this number of generations, the oldest will be overwritten with each new generation backed up. Check to configure this backup set for BLM. When applicable, the DS-Client will instruct DS-System to send a copy of the oldest generation (that is about to be overwritten) to the BLM Archiver. |
Use Local Storage • These options appear if you have the Local Storage Tool Enabled from your service provider, and you have specified a Local Storage Path in the "DS-Client Configuration Parameters Tab screen". | |
Save on Local Storage | Check this box to indicate this backup set will also be saved to a Local Storage location (at the DS-Client site). • Backup data will be sent to the location specified in the Local Storage Path field. |
Transmission cache on Local Storage | Check this box to indicate this backup set will use the Local Storage as a cache, in case a backup session loses connection with DS-System. • Cached backup data will be sent to DS-System at the next connection opportunity (after synchronization). • Backup data will be sent to the location specified in the Local Storage Path field. |
Local Storage Path | Click [>>] to choose a specific local storage path for this backup set. • Opens the "Enter Local Storage Path". • If you do not make a selection, the path from the "DS-Client Configuration Parameters Tab screen" is used. |
Customer | If the multitenant feature is enabled and configured, you can select the customer to which you want to assign the backup set. If you are a regular user, only the customers that have been assigned to you are displayed. |
