HAFM appliance backup
There are three options for backing up with HAFM:
•
Backing up to a read writable CD
•
Backing up to a hard drive
•
Backing up to a network drive
Backing up data
HAFM backs up data to two alternate folders. For example, if the backup directory location is
D:\Backup
, the backup service alternates between two backup directories, D:\Backup and
D:\BackupAlt
. The current backup is always D:\Backup and contains a complete backup of the
system. The older backup is always D:\BackupAlt.
If a backup cycle fails, usually because the CDRW is full, there may be only one directory,
D:\Backup
. There can also be a D:\BackupTemp directory, which you should ignore as it can
be incomplete.
Backing up to the CD-RW
The InCD software is the default backup option for the HAFM appliance.
Before you back up to a CD-RW:
• The InCD writing software must be installed on the HAFM appliance.
• The disk must be formatted by the InCD software so that it behaves like a drive.
To backup to the CD-RW:
1.
Select SAN > Options.
The Options dialog box is displayed (
2.
Select Backup in the Category list.
The currently defined directory is displayed in the Backup Output Directory box.
3.
