11. Backup Jobs

A backup job must be created before any backup may be performed by the admin system. The job information
will identify the TSM server and one or more clients to backup and the backup profile. If the backup is to be
scheduled to run either at a later time or on a regular basis, the dates and times are also added to the backup
job information. Temporary backup jobs which are run only once may also be set to be automatically deleted
once the job has completed.

Before configuring a backup job, you must first have configured at least one

TSM Client

to backup and a

TSM

Server

to backup to (even if the client and server are the same). There must also be at least one System

backup profile

(a default profile comes installed with the software). On the job configuration screen, you can

customize the selected backup profile to apply changes which apply only to the job, if desired.

Creating a Backup Job

To create a backup job, either

1. Select

Configure

!Backup Jobs

from the menu bar, or

2. Press

the

Add

button on the

Main Screen

when the

Job Information

is displayed.

The following

Configure Backup Job will be displayed:

To create a new backup job, enter the

Backup Job ID in the entry field at the top. The Job ID is used as unique

identifier for this job, and may consist of any letters or numbers except for a colon (:) or space (spaces will be
automatically replaced with an underscore).

Next, you must select an entry in the

Server Name field (see below). Additional required fields include the

Profile Name and the Clients to backup. All other settings will provide a default value. If you did not define the
VG(s) or Zpools(s) to include (or all) in the backup profile, you may need to enter this information now.
