8.6.3 Notes for Double Backup
In a single backup configuration, in case a CPU/IO module or backup device fails, backup is not possible
until the failed part is repaired or replaced. If this does not meet your system requirements, consider a
double backup configuration.
Refer to the following notes on double backup configuration.
When configuring two sets of a SAS controller, a SAS cable and a backup device, two backup devices
are recognized separately by the OS. When scheduling an automatic backup job, make a job for each
backup device so that the other backup device can backup in case one device fails.
With BrightStor ARCserve Backup, backup is not executed if you enter an asterisk (*) in the group box
under the destination tab when defining a job. Be sure to create two backup jobs by correctly selecting
the device group for the group box, and entering an asterisk (*) or the name of the media in the media
box.
