Running scheduled backups

In the Backup Manager:

1. Select the filesystem to back up from the list.

   ---

   NOTE: If you select a remote host to back up, verify that the system time on the local and remote hosts do not differ by more than one day. If the system times are off by more than one day, the backup may fail.

   ---

2. Select Run Scheduled from the Backup menu.

   ---

   NOTE: Unless a filesystem is scheduled to be backed up today or overdue (``Today'' or ``Overdue'' appears in the ``Next Backup'' column), the Run Scheduled item is inactive (dimmed).

   ---

3. If necessary, select or enter the correct ``Media Device''.

4. If necessary, click on the Media Options button to change:

   • ``Block Size''

   • ``Volume Size''

5. Click on Start.

6. When prompted, insert each media volume.

7. Verify the backup by clicking on Yes at the prompt, inserting the requested backup volume, and clicking on OK.

   To skip the verification process, click on No.

8. When the backup is complete, click on OK.

9. Label your backup and store it in a safe place.
