Database Dump | |
Dump Path | This field displays the selection for the database dump location. • Remote dump location (Microsoft SQL Server): You can type a valid UNC path into this field, if you want to specify a different computer for the database dump. The Microsoft SQL Server service account and the backup set user credentials must have administrator rights to access this UNC path (read-write permissions). |
Directory | Browse the database computer and select a directory. There must be enough space on the database computer to accommodate the dump file. |
DS-Client Buffer | Save the dump file to the local storage on the DS-Client computer. There must be enough space on the DS-Client computer to accommodate the dump file. |
DS-Client Pipe | This option does not consume any additional disk space. During backups, the DS-Client reads from the pipe on the source database. This method is useful if your database is too big to be dumped to a file on either the database server or the DS-Client buffer. |
VDI Tool Directory | [Microsoft SQL Server 2005 & up require a VDI Tool for backup and restore using DS-Client Buffer or DS-Client Pipe.] This option allows you to specify the location on a remote computer where DS-Client will place and run the VDI Tool. If no specification is made, DS-Client will run the tool from a default directory on the target computer’s “c:\” drive. |
Data Dump (System i Server backup sets) | |
System i Server | Use this screen to specify the location of the data dump. Highlight a folder in the System i Server ROOT file system and press "Next". The System i Server ROOT file system must be shared (with read-write permissions) for this operation to work. |
