Dell PowerVault 715N (Rackmount NAS Appliance) - Manual (Page 45)

NOTE: Although you are backing up your persistent image from a network share, it does not create network traffic
if you are backing up to a local backup device.
Limitations on Backing Up Persistent Images
You cannot do incremental or differential backups of persistent images.
You cannot use GFS rotation schemes when backing up persistent images.
You cannot schedule a backup of a persistent image.
You must do a manual backup of persistent image files because each persistent image file name is unique in that it
includes the date and time (hour-minute-second) that the persistent image was taken.
When you restore a persistent image, you must redirect the restore to a location other than the original persistent
image location. A restore to the original location is not successful.
Restoring Persistent Images From Tape Backup
NOTE: Do not use Computer Associates ARCserve to restore persistent images.
To restore your persistent images from tape backup, perform the following steps:
1. On the system on your network that is running VERITAS Backup Exec, click the Restore Selections tab to bring
up the window that lists your previous backup files.
2. Browse to your backup of the persistent image that you want to restore, and then select it by clicking the check
box next to it.
3. Click Restore.
4. Click the Redirection tab.
5. Click the check box next to Redirect Files.
6. Enter the drive letter and path where you want the files to be restored in the text boxes next to Restore to drive
and Restore to path.
7. Click Run Now to run the restore immediately or click Schedule to schedule your restore job to run at a later
time.
Installing Tape Device Drivers for Windows 2000 Backup and
Recovery Tools
If you are using Windows 2000 backup and recovery tools, you might need to install drivers for both tape drives and tape

see the http://support.dell.com website for updated drivers and patches.
