Configuring a Backup Task for Client Data
A backup task includes either a Files and Folders or Application object and a schedule for the
backup. Without a backup task, no backups will occur.
For offsite backup, you can choose the Send All Files Offsite option when adding or editing a
backup task.
Note Before creating a backup task, create the backup object and schedule to be included in the
task.
To create a backup task for client data backup, perform the following steps:
Step 1 In the SonicWALL CDP Agent User Interface, click the Policies tab.
Step 2 In the left pane, select Backup Tasks.
Step 3 In the right pane, click the Plus button at the lower right corner. The Add Backup Task
window opens.
Step 4 Type a descriptive name for the backup task into the Name field.
Step 5 Select one of the following in the Select File Type drop-down list:
• For a client application backup task, select Application.
• For a FileSet or CDP backup task, select FileSet.
Step 6 For a client application backup task, select the desired application object from the Application
Data drop-down list.
Step 7 For a FileSet or CDP backup task, select the desired Files and Folders object from the Files
and Folders drop-down list.
Step 8 Type the desired number of backup revisions to keep into the Number of Versions field. For
client applications, the default is 2. For files and folders, the default is 10.
