Where to back up
Archive
(p. 365)

be available at the time when the management server starts to deploy the policy.

access permissions to the location. To access this option, select the

box.

How to back up
Backup scheme
(p. 367)
Specify when and how often to back up your data, define for how long to keep the created
backup archives in the selected location, set up a schedule for the archive cleanup
procedure. Use well-known optimized backup schemes, such as Grandfather-Father-Son and
Tower of Hanoi, create a custom backup scheme or back up data once.
Archive validation
When to validate
[Optional] Define when and how often to perform validation and whether to validate the
entire archive or the latest backup in the archive.
Backup options
Settings
[Optional] Configure parameters of the backup operation, such as pre/post backup
commands, maximum network bandwidth allocated for the backup stream or the backup
archive compression level. If you do nothing in this section, the default values (p. 99) as set in
the management server, will be used.
After any of the settings is changed against the default value, a new line that displays the
newly set value appears. The setting status changes from
Default
to
Custom
. Should you
modify the setting again, the line will display the new value unless the new value is the
default one. When the default value is set, the line disappears and so you always see only the
settings that differ from the default values in this section of the
Create Backup Policy
page.
To reset all the settings to the default values, click
Reset to default
.
During the backup operation, the registered machines' default backup options are ignored.
