Items & Options for backup • Shows a list of the item(s) specified for backup. | |
Checkbox | Allows you to select or remove items from the demand backup. |
Icon | Lists the type of backup item (directory, file, database, etc.) |
Items | Lists the path of the backup item. |
Options | The defaults are set in this backup set’s Set Properties Items Tab. Some items may be grayed out (i.e. cannot be changed for demand backups). Letters that appear in this column correspond to the following options: • P = Backup permissions / Backup ACL • S = Backup Streams • E = Extended Attributes • X = POSIX ACL • D = Run DBCC before backup • S = Stop on DBCC errors • T = Truncate Transaction Log / Truncate Archived Logs / Backup Transaction Log • L = Logical Corruption Check • B = Backup Only Current Archived Logs • R = Backup Resource • A = Backup File Attributes To add or remove an option, highlight the backup item from the list and check or uncheck the option box that appears beneath this list. See below for details about individual options. |
Generations (Linux / Mac) | Shows the number of generations configured for the corresponding backup item. |
Options • Highlight an item from the Items & Options for backup list, then click the checkbox of the option(s) you want to add. | |
Backup permissions / Backup ACL | Check this box to backup the file permissions. (ex: ACL on NTFS volumes, or Trustees on NetWare volumes.) |
Backup POSIX ACL (Linux) | This only applies to backups of the Local File System (Linux DS-Client only). Check this box to backup the “Extended ACL” (if configured). • These are the permissions set using the ‘setfacl’ command (and viewed using the ‘getfacl’ command). |
Backup streams (Windows) | NTFS volumes support multiple streams of data associated with a particular file. Select this option if you have files that contain alternate data streams. • To change this option, you must use the Backup Set Properties screen, Backup Set Items Tab. |
Backup Eattributes (NetWare) | These are the Extended File Attributes. (ex: Transactional and Compressed). |
Run DBCC before backup (Microsoft SQL) | The Database Consistency Check (DBCC) verifies database integrity to ensure backup of a valid database dump. If this box is checked, an additional option appears. |
Truncate transaction log (Microsoft Exchange Server) | Truncates the transaction log. • Microsoft Exchange Server: Transaction Logs are truncated after the backup. |
Backup Transaction Log (Microsoft SQL Server) | The database must be configured with FULL or BULK_LOGGED recovery mode, otherwise this option will have no effect. • If selected, the DS-Client will dump the Transaction Log and send it to the DS-System in addition to the database(s). If selected, the Transaction Logs will also be truncated. The timing of the truncation depends on the Database Backup Policy (see "Set Properties - Options tab"). • Full - Transaction Logs are truncated before the database dump. • Differential - Transaction Logs are truncated before the database dump. • Incremental - Transaction Logs are first backed up, and then truncated. |
Stop on DBCC errors (Microsoft SQL) | If DBCC errors are detected, this option will skip backing up the dump file. |
Logical Corruption Check (Oracle) | (Default is on) Will perform a corruption check on the database prior to backup. |
Truncate Archived Logs (Oracle) | Clear the Oracle Database logs associated with this item after backup. |
Backup Only Current Archived Logs (Oracle) | Check to backup only those logs that are necessary for the Oracle database. This saves backup space, by avoiding backup of any older logs. Leave this box unchecked if you want to backup all log files. |
Backup Resource (Mac) | Check to backup the Macintosh Resource Fork information. |
Backup File Attributes (Mac) | Check to backup the File Attributes for files on the Mac platform. |
