DS-User F1 Help for GUI (Context-Sensitive) : Choose the name for this backup set
 
Choose the name for this backup set
When creating a new backup set, you can specify a name for the set, its type, and other settings and options in this dialog box.
When creating a new VM replication set, you can specify a name for the set. Other settings and options in this dialog box are not applicable to VM replication sets.
The name that you provide allows you to identify the set in DS-Client.
 
Set name
Enter the name of the backup set or VM replication sets.
Set type
Select the type of backup set.
Online
Creates a full featured backup set of any kind.
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 the DS-Client (by your service provider from the DS-System).
• The Local Storage Path must be set (Setup Menu > DS-Client Configuration > Parameters Tab)
Instant Recovery
Creates an Instant Recovery backup set.
• The Local-Only Tool must be enabled for the DS-Client.
• The Local Storage Path must be set.
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.
Select 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.
Select 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".
Save on Local Storage
Select 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 box.
Transmission cache on Local Storage
Select 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 box.
Save in instant recovery vault
Select this box to indicate this Online backup set will also be saved to the instant recovery vault.
• Backup data will be sent to the location specified in the Local Storage Path box.
Local Storage Path
Click [>>] to choose a specific local storage path for this backup set.
• If you do not make a selection, the path from the "DS-Client Configuration Parameters Tab" is used.
Customer
If the Multi-Tenant 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.
