Using Backup Sets


Overview

During installation of the Windows File System, UNIX File System, NetWare File System, NetWare NDS and Active Directory iDataAgents, the system automatically creates a default backup set, which contains a default subclient. After installation, you have the option of defining a User Create Backup Set, which also will contain a default subclient.

Once installed, the agent is configured and is therefore able to manage the data or volumes on the client computer. However, you can change certain aspects of the backup set configuration to manage the data in the manner that best suits your needs.

You can view or change the backup set configuration from the Backup Set Properties dialog box. The following information can be configured for all File Systems:

Decompress Data Before Backup

The NetWare File System data can be in compressed format on a volume that supports compression, and data in compressed format can only be restored to a volume that supports compression. The Decompress Data before Backup option allows you to select whether to decompress data that is in compressed format on the backup media and can be restored to either a compressed or uncompressed volume. By default, data is backed up in a compressed format if the data is on a volume that supports compression.

See Enable Decompress Data before Backup for a NetWare File System Backup Set for step by step instructions.
