Destination Drive
Local Drive: To backup the BCM to a Local Drive (E:), the user must be aware that the space
available might not be enough and the backup will not be completed. The default space available
for backup to the E: drive should not exceed 1 gigabyte.
Remote Drive: To backup the BCM to a Remote Drive, the user must have a destination shared
network resource prepared to store the data. The shared resource must have its' permissions set
such that the specific user has full control. The BCM must be must be able to map to this shared
resource.
FTP Server: To backup the BCM to a FTP Server, the user must have a destination folder
prepared to store the data. The folder must have its' permissions set such that the specific user has
full control. The BCM must be must be able to find this FTP Server.
For example an administrator may decide to schedule a backup every day; however a safer way to
do this may be to have two or more backup volumes. Each one would backup to a different
volume, perhaps on different days so that at least two full backups are available to choose from.
For added safety, the admin may decide that the volumes are on different servers so that a second
copy of the backup is always available.
To save the information about the most used destination drives, refer to the section on Volume
Administration on page 396.
Scheduled backup
The backup process can be scheduled to run on a specific date, time and frequency.
To schedule a backup, the user must follow all the steps to configure a backup and then select a
specific date, time, and frequency. Be aware that the selected time will start the process according
to the date and time on the BCM. Watch the time differences especially if you are scheduling a
backup on a BCM that is situated on a different time zone. The time on the BCM is shown,
although this is an approximation, it will normally be within a few minutes of the actual time set
on the target BCM.
Note: The user is responsible for managing the shared network resource and the FTP
Sever. Data already present on the destination will be overwritten with new data on
consequent executions of the backup and restore script. If the user wants to save
different versions of the backed-up data, he/she must manage the 'Volumes' and
shared resources.
