Self-contained backup sets
You can use Self-Contained backup sets to perform backup and restore tasks using only local storage. Self-Contained backup sets have the following features and limitations:
• Platforms: DS-Client running on Windows / Linux / Mac
• Data is stored locally at customer site (local disk or UNC path)
• Up to 5 Self-Contained backup sets
• Up to a total of 10 GB of protected data
• Only the latest generation of a file is protected
• Data stored is compressed
NOTE: You cannot convert a Self-Contained backup set to an Online backup set. You can use the
Clone feature to duplicate it as a new Online backup set (see
“Cloning a backup set”).
IMPORTANT: Before creating a Self-Contained backup set, you must configure the Local Storage Path. (On the Setup menu, click Configuration and then click Parameters. Beside the Local Storage Path box, click >> to browse and select the path. Click OK or Apply to save the setting.)
To create a self-contained backup set:
1. Configure the backup set in the New Backup Set Wizard.
2. On the Choose the name for this backup set page, in the Set Type box, select Self-Contained.
3. Click Finish.
