Creating an instant recovery backup
By default, instant recovery backup data will be saved to the local storage path configured for DS-Client. However, you can configure a different location for the instant recovery vault.
IMPORTANT: Ensure 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:
1. Configure the backup.
2. Do one of the following:
a) To configure a backup that sends data only to the instant recovery vault, in the Set Type box, select Instant Recovery.
b) To configure a backup 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.
c) 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.
