Backup
Backing Up Windows Systems
Chapter 5186
IMPORTANT The Disk Agent client must have the Inet service configured using an
account with access to the shared disks. This must be a specific user
account, not the system account. See “Setting the User Account for the
Data Protector Inet Service” on page 187 for more information on how to
use the appropriate logon account.
Once you have set the user account for the Inet service, you can back up
the shared disks as though they were residing on the local system.
How to Perform a
Windows Shared
Disks Backup
1. In the Data Protector Manager, switch to the Backup context.
2. Expand the Backups item, and then double-click Backup
Specifications.
3. Right-click Filesystem, and then Add Backup.
4. In the Create New Backup dialog box, select one of the available
templates, and then click OK to open the wizard.
5. On the first page of the wizard, in the drop-down list, select Network
Share Backup.
IMPORTANT You have to map the shared drives using the Backup wizard.
If you are using the GUI on a UNIX system, it is not possible for the
system to confirm the existence of a Windows shared drive, or to browse
it. Therefore, when specifying a Windows shared drive/directory, you
must confirm yourself that it is available and correctly specified, or the
backup will fail.
6. Click Map Network Share. The Browse Network Shares dialog box
opens.
7. In the Client System drop-down list, select the client with the Disk
Agent that will be used to back up the remote system.
8. Select the shared disk. It appears in the Share Name text box.
IMPORTANT Share names containing spaces are not supported.
