An export task starts immediately after you complete its configuration. An export task can be
stopped or deleted in the same way as any other task.
Once the export task is completed, you can run it again at any time. Before doing so, delete the
archive that resulted from the previous task run if the archive still exists in the destination vault.
Otherwise the task will fail. You cannot edit an export task to specify another name for the
destination archive (this is a limitation).
Tip. You can implement the staging scenario manually, by regularly running the archive deletion task followed
by the export task.
Different ways to create an export task
Using the
Export
page is the most general way to create an export task. Here, you can export any
backup, or archive you have permission to access.
You can access the
Export
page from the
Vaults
view. Right-click the object to export (archive or
backup) and select
Export
from the context menu. The
Export
page will be opened with the pre-
selected object as a source. All you need to do is to select a destination and (optionally) provide a
name for the task.
To export an archive or a backup perform the following steps.
General
Task name
[Optional] Enter a unique name for the task. A conscious name lets you quickly identify the
task among the others.
Task credentials
(p. 243)
[Optional] The export task will run on behalf of the user who is creating the task. You can
change the task credentials if necessary. To access this option, select the
Advanced view
check box.
What to export
Export
Select an object to export:
Archive
(p. 215) - in that case, you need to specify the archive only.
Backups
(p. 244) - specify the archive first, and then select the desired backup(s) in this
archive
Access credentials
(p. 244)
[Optional] Provide credentials for accessing the source if the task account does not have
enough privileges to access it. To access this option, select the
Advanced view
check box.
Where to export
Archive
(p. 245)
Enter the path to the location where the new archive will be created.
Be sure to provide a distinct name and comment for the new archive.
Access credentials
(p. 246)
[Optional] Provide credentials for the destination if the task credentials do not have enough
privileges to access it. To access this option, select the
Advanced view
check box.
After you have performed all the required steps, click
OK
to start the export task.
