Performing an on-demand BLM request
BLM Requests can be performed as follows:
• According to schedule from DS-Client
• On demand from DS-Client
• On demand from DS-System (service provider)
You can perform an on demand BLM Request for any existing backup set with backed up data online. The backup set does not have to be configured with the BLM (Infinite Generations) option.
1. In the Backup Sets tree, select the required backup set.
2. On the Backup menu, click BLM Request.
The Request BLM Wizard appears.
3. Select the backup items you want to copy to the BLM Archive, and then click Next.
The Select BLM Options dialog box appears.
4. Select the BLM options, and then click Finish.
NOTE: An alternative is to contact your service provider and have them perform the BLM Request from the DS-System side on demand.
