Adding VLANs
In the Network Settings window, you can add virtual local area networks (VLANs). Use this
functionality if you need access to a backup location that is included in a specific VLAN.
VLANs are mainly used to divide a local area network into segments. A NIC that is connected to an
access port of the switch always has access to the VLAN specified in the port configuration. A NIC
connected to a trunk port of the switch can access the VLANs allowed in the port configuration only if
you specify the VLANs in the network settings.
To enable access to a VLAN via a trunk port
1. Click Add VLAN.
2. Select the NIC that provides access to the local area network that includes the required VLAN.
3. Specify the VLAN identifier.
After you click OK, a new entry appears in the list of network adapters.
If you need to remove a VLAN, click the required VLAN entry, and then click Remove VLAN.
9.3 Working under bootable media
Operations on a machine booted with bootable media are very similar to backup and recovery under
the operating system. The difference is as follows:
1. Under a Windows-style bootable media, a volume has the same drive letter as in Windows.
Volumes that do not have drive letters in Windows (such as the System Reserved volume) are
assigned free letters in order of their sequence on the disk.
If the bootable media cannot detect Windows on the machine or detects more than one of them,
all volumes, including those without drive letters, are assigned letters in order of their sequence
on the disk. This way, the volume letters may differ from those seen in Windows. For example,
the D: drive under the bootable media might correspond to the E: drive in Windows.
Be careful! To be on the safe side, it is advisable to assign unique names to the volumes.
2. The Linux-style bootable media shows local disks and volumes as unmounted (sda1, sda2...).
3. Backups created using bootable media have simplified file names (p. 53). Standard names are
assigned to the backups only if these are added to an existing archive with standard file naming,
or if the destination does not support simplified file names.
4. The Linux-style bootable media cannot write a backup to an NTFS-formatted volume. Switch to
the Windows style if you need to do so.
5. You can switch the bootable media between the Windows style and the Linux style by selecting
Tools > Change volume representation.
6. There is no Navigation tree in the media GUI. Use the Navigation menu item to navigate
between views.
7. Tasks cannot be scheduled; in fact, tasks are not created at all. If you need to repeat the
operation, configure it from scratch.
8. The log lifetime is limited to the current session. You can save the entire log or the filtered log
entries to a file.
