Creating an instant recovery backup set

Managing backup sets : Working with instant recovery backup sets : Creating an instant recovery backup set

By default, the instant recovery backup data will be saved to the local storage path configured for the DS-Client. However, you can configure a different location for the instant recovery vault.

IMPORTANT: You must ensure that the instant recovery vault has sufficient capacity and is accessible by both the DS-Client service and the backup source server.

To create an instant recovery backup set:

1. Configure the backup set in the New Backup Set Wizard.

2. On the Choose the name for this backup set page, do one of the following:

a) To configure a backup set that sends data only to the instant recovery vault, in the Set Type box, select Instant Recovery.

b) To configure a backup set that sends data to both the DS-System online storage and the instant recovery vault, in the Set Type box, select Online, and then select the Save in instant recovery vault check box.

3. To configure the location of the instant recovery vault:

a) Beside the Local Storage Path box, click >>.

b) In the Path box, specify the location of the instant recovery vault for this backup set, and then click OK.

NOTE: If you are using a Linux DS-Client, you must configure the ZFS storage volume that serves as the instant recovery vault. For more information, see “Configuring the parameter settings”.

4. Click Finish.
