Note: When using Workstation Edition, the admin system will always act as the backup server.

Therefore, references to the backup server in this manual refer also to the admin system.

• Client - This is the system from which backups will be made. The admin system or any backup server

may also be configured as a client, since they also need to be backed up. Any client may also be

configured as a server. A client will be defined as an AIX, Solaris or Linux (UNIX) client. Select this

link for detailed information on adding or removing a

backup client.

Note: When using a Workstation Edition, the admin system itself is assumed the only client. Therefore,

references to the client in this manual refer also to the admin system

With the Network Edition, the backup clients and servers, as well as the configured devices on the backup

servers may be displayed on the main screen of the application. The application will constantly monitor the

status of the clients, servers and devices, and the icons on the screen will represent whether or not the system

or device is available.

Additional terms are commonly used in this document and in the application:

• Backup Profiles - Any number of backup profiles may be created, which will contain the backup

defaults to be used when performing a backup job. This prevents the need to answer the same

questions repeatedly when configuring backup jobs. At least one backup profile must be created for

each

type of backup to be performed. Select this link for detailed information on adding or removing a

backup profile.

• Backup Jobs - A backup job will contain all the information needed to perform a backup, including the

client(s) to backup, the server to backup to, and the specific device on the backup server to use. A

backup profile will be assigned to the job, which will provide most of the common backup defaults. The

information in the profile, however, may be customized for each job. A backup job is identified by a Job

ID and may be scheduled to run upon demand, once at a specific date and time, or scheduled to run on

a regular basis. A backup job may contain one or more clients. If multiple clients are included in a

single job, the data for all clients is appended to the same tape (or set of tapes), or stored in the same

set of backup files (if written to disk). When writing backups to tape, multiple backup jobs may also be

appended to the same tape or set of tapes. Select this link for additional information on creating,

scheduling and running

backup jobs.

• Job Queues - The Backup Administrator provides a queuing system that prevents multiple backup

jobs from attempting to write to the same devices at the same time. A queue is defined for each device

(and one for each directory for disk backups) on each backup server for which a backup job is

scheduled. Backup jobs are added to the queues when they are

run. The queues may be displayed in

the main screen of the application, providing an easy glance at the queue contents and the status of

queued jobs, and action buttons for manipulating the queued jobs. The jobs may be started, stopped,

removed from the queue or placed on hold. Running jobs may be monitored, displaying the backup

progress and/or the backup output messages. Select this link for more detailed information on

backup

queues and how to manipulate backup jobs in the queue.

Understanding Backup Media

Before you can write any SBAdmin backups, you must first configure one or more backup “devices”. A

backup device will consist or one or more tape drives or one or more directories on the server. You may

name a device anything you wish, but for simplicity, it’s recommended you use the tape drive name (for a

single-tape device) or directory path (for single directory devices).
