Chapter 3 69 HP Easytime/XL Tasks Backups Backups Choosing a good backup plan, and scheduling regular backups, are important to the efficient operation of the system. Regularly scheduled backups reduce the time needed to perform backups and guarantee the most recent information is always available to users. If you are responsible for managing backups on the system, your responsibilities include the following: • Designing a backup schedule • Scheduling and performing regular backups • Storing and maintaining backup media. Backup Management The Backup Management screen displays the current backup schedule and provides a history of recent backups on the system including: • Type of backup (full or partial) • Date the backup was performed • Number of tapes required for the backup • Device on which the backup was performed • Time needed to complete the backup To access Backup Management: 1. Move the cursor to Backup Management on the Main menu. 2. Press either F3, Return key, or the Spacebar.

A partial backup copies only those files that have changed since the last full backup. Your backup schedule should include both. A typical backup schedule allows for one full backup one day a week, and a partial backup on each remaining work day. If such a schedule is used, no more than 24 hours worth of information would be lost if the system should fail. Refer to Figure 3-6 for a Backup Management screen. Scheduling Backups With HP Easytime/XL, you can set up the backup schedule and then use the Backup Management screen to review backup information. 1. From the Backup Management screen, select one or more days of the week. Chapter 3 71 HP Easytime/XL Tasks Backups For example, Monday through Thursday. 2. Press F2 A to open the Actions menu. 3. Press S for Schedule Backup. A dialog box prompts you for further scheduling information. 4. Choose the type of backup you want (full or partial). 5. Type the time you want the backup to start.
