DS-Operator F1 Help for GUI (Context-Sensitive) : Initial Backup Import
 
Initial Backup Import
In cases where the first backup is of a large disk capacity, it may be more efficient to back up data directly to a local drive on the DS-Client or via a LAN connection. This avoids the potential of a long and extended backup period, especially if the communication bandwidth is not very wide.
This dialog is used to transfer the initial backup from the Initial Backup Buffer, to the DS-System.
 
Import initial backup from
Browse or type the path where DS-System can read the Initial Backup Buffer.
• For Windows: The path must be in the form <local_drive>:\initial_backup_dir or \\server\share\initial_backup_dir
(for example \\MEDIA\drv$d\buf)
• For UNIX: The path must be in the form
/initial_backup_directory
• For N+1 DS-Systems: The initial backup is performed by the selected node. Make sure that the initial backup buffer is either directly attached to the selected node, or is specified as a UNC path (if attached to a different computer) and that node has rights to access it.
OK
Click this button once you have specified the Initial Backup buffer location.
This will open the "Select Initial Backup Sets" dialog box.
