Managing Failed Backups
Chapter 5266
NOTE You can enable Wake ONLAN support for computers equipped with a
Wake ONLAN-compatible LAN interface, such as the HP
NightDIRECTOR series. The Wake ONLAN (WOL) option is available in
the BIOS setup.
When you install a Disk Agent on a Windows client and add it to a cell,
the client’s Mac address is automatically discovered. You can also
manually change the Mac address in the same section where you enable
the Wake ONLAN (WOL) option, as shown below.
Use the following steps to enable Wake ONLAN support for the Windows
client:
1. In the Data Protector Manager, switch to the Clients context.
2. In the Scoping Pane, right-click the client whose WOL option you
want to enable, and then click Properties.
3. Click the Advanced tab.
4. Under the Magic Packet section, select the Enable Magic Packet
check box, and then click Apply.
Restarting Failed Backups
Data Protector provides a simple way of restarting the backup of failed
objects only. This can be done as follows:
1. In the Data Protector Manager, switch to the Internal Database
context.
2. Under Internal Database, expand the Sessions item.
3. In the Results Area, search for your backup.
You can sort your sessions using the buttons on the top of each of the
columns.
4. Right-click the failed session, and then select Restart Session.
A dialog box appears asking you to confirm that you want to restart
the session. Click Yes.
