For more information, see "BackupE strategies" in the "Concepts ..." help topic; see also "RecoveringG data with multiple backup strategies" in the "Tasks ..." help topic.!ww(g1 Backup_or_copy) Backing up data rather than copying itG BACKUP Manager stores files and directories in a single special fileF called a save set. BACKUP Manager also records in the save set theF date and time and other information about the files that are backed up. OH If you need to protect only a few files, you might find it easier forE you to simply copy those files to another disk and use the copy ofE the files in the event of a problem. However, BACKUP Manager is aH more efficient solution if you need to protect many files, especiallyF related files, and if you need to store these files offline. (ManyD computer centers store backup media off the local site in case of@ site disaster. This strategy preserves vital information andH oPperations can continue with little interruption even in the event of catastrophic events.)!ww(g 1 Strategies Backup strategiesA Whether you need to save all files on a volume, all files in aB directory tree, or a group of files from one or more locations,B BACKUP Manager offers two strategies for backing up your files:H Snapshot backup strategy - each time you backup your files, all ofI the files are placed in a save set, and the new save set Q supersedes? any previously created save set for the same directories.H Incremental backup strategy - first you create a baseline save setI that contains of all your files, then during subsequent backups youH create incremental save sets to save files that have been added orF changed. Together the baseline plus all of the incremental save; sets represent the current state of your directories.D To implement the snapshot backup strategy simply use the Snap RshotD backup operation from the "Save Volume ..." or the "Save Selected6 Files ..." submenu each time you backup your files.G To implement the incremental backup strategy, first use the BaselineD backup operation from the "Save Volume ..." or the "Save SelectedI Files ..." submenu. Then on subsequent backups choose the IncrementalG backup operation to save the files that are new or have been changed? since the last baseline or incremental backup was performed.D When yo Su choose a backup strategy, you determine what you want toI back up and how often you want to do it. Your backup strategy $ depends on the following factors:E The number and size of disks or tapes you can devote to backups The importance of the data How often the data changesC For example, if you have a standalone workstation in a "mission-G critical" environment and many files are updated each day, you mightB want to perform a nightly snapshot backup T of all of your files.D However, if you modify only a few files during the course of yourH work day (or week), a daily (or weekly) incremental backup to captureF the changes might be a more efficient method, because it takes lessF time to perform an incremental backup. With either strategy all ofI your files are protected, but it usually takes longer to restore filesE using the incremental method because more save sets are processed.G With either strategy, if unexpected data Uloss occurs (for example, aG disk is damaged or you accidently delete one or more files) you haveG the option of restoring all saved files, or selecting which files toG restore. If you have been performing snapshot backups, then you useC the most recent save set. However, if you have a combination ofD baseline and incremental backup save sets, restore files from theG baseline saveset first, then restore files from the incremental saveA sets next.

After youJ insert and load the second volume (or after an operator fulfills theI mount request), BACKUP Manager continues writing data to the second volume.H p If you specified multiple drives, BACKUP Manager continues writing# data to the second volume if: - The drive is loaded. - The drive is on line.1 - The drive has the correct volume label.G BACKUP Manager unloads the first volume and resumes the operation on volume 2.? If you are using an automatic tape loader, BACKUP ManagerG continues writing data to the tape in the next slot, assuming theE tape loader has an adequate supplqy of correctly labeled tapes.H BACKUP Manager rewinds and unloads the first tape and resumes the operation on volume 2.H As a safeguard against initializing or writing the wrong tape, BACKUPC Manager compares the label that you specify in the Tape label(s)/ field to the label of the tape in the drive.!ww8h1 Name_lengths Name Lengths?

For example,C you might associate the logical name USER$DISK with the hardwareI device name DUA0. tYou create a logical name with a DCL command before( running BACKUP Manager. For example: $ DEFINE USER$DISK DUA0:F Using logical names provides two advantages. First, you can pick aE name that is meaningful to you. Second, you can change the device$ associated with the logical name.E How might this be helpful? Assume that the logical name USER$DISKG was associated with DUA0. You and other system users could then useG USER$DISK in file names, command proced uures, and so on. If you thenE move the data from DUA0 to a larger disk, for example, named DUA1,G you only need to associate USER$DISK with the larger DUA1 disk. TheH system users could continue to use the USER$DISK logical name without$ having to be aware of the change.!wwi1 Backup_defrag5 Restoring a volume to eliminate disk fragmentationG During the course of creating, deleting, and modifying files, a diskE can have sections of files scattere vd across it. The files, thoughF scattered, are linked by software so that a file appears contiguous@ when it is displayed for you. Eventually the disk can become7 severely fragmented, and system performance suffers.F When a disk stores files contiguously, system performance improves,D and the wear and tear on the disk mechanisms is minimized because; fewer searches are performed for the sections of a file.< When you restore a volume from a save set, BACKUP Manager@ pla wces the files contiguously on the disk. To eliminate diskF fragmentation, you can perform a backup of the disk and restore the backup copy.!wwi1 Restoring_files" Restoring files from a save setF Restore a save set when you need to return the data in the save setD to its original format. For example, you might need to perform aF restore operation if you have deleted an important file and need toH replace it, or if a disk has become corrupted and you x need to replace it with an uncorrupted copy.D When you restore files, BACKUP Manager places the contents of the- save set in the location that you specify.F If your save set is stored on more than one tape or sequential diskG volume, you can begin restore and compare operations with any volume of the save set.C You can monitor the files as they are restored by turning on theB "Verify BACKUP Operation" option on the Options menu. For moreD information, see "Ver yifying save set contents" in the "Tasks ..." help topic.!wwi1 Batch_backups1 Running BACKUP Manager when you are not aroundE When deciding on a backup strategy, think about whether the backupH operation requires someone to physically change tapes or disks duringH operation. Ideally, the backup operation can be performed unassistedD by a batch job that runs late at night or at some other time when> interactive use of the system is likely to be at a zminimum.H You might not have to change tapes or disks during a backup operation$ if any of the following are true:> All of the files fit on a single piece of storage media.# Your site uses a tape loader.5 You have several disk or tape drives available.? For more information, see the "Command Line ..." help topic.!wwi 1 Save_sets Save setsF When you save files with BACKUP Manager, the files are written to a* single, special file {called a save set.E Save set names on tape can have up to 17 characters, including theF period delimiter (.) and file type; save set names on disk can haveC up to 53 characters, including the period delimiter (.) and fileH type.

This action prevents you' from reinitializing the output disk.D Specify the directory into which you want to restore the disketteD volume (for example, USER$DISK:[WORK.PROJECT.HOMEWORK]*.*). This@ way, the rest of the output disk (USER$DISK, in this example)G contents are preserved, and the files from the save set are added to the output disk.!wwi1 Tape_labels Tape label(s) fieldE The term tape label refers to the software label name of up to sixH characters you supply for a tape. The term does not apply to a labelF you physically attach to the tape. Tape labels allow BACKUP Manager8 to identify a tape and determine its characteristics.F Label you r tapes according to the data contained on the tapes. The= following table shows some suggestions for labeling tapes:( Label Type of Backup2 ------ ----------------------------------2 DLY101 Daily, Group 1, Volume Number 012 DLY102 Daily, Group 1, Volume Number 022 WKY101 Weekly, Group 1, Volume Number 012 WKY201 Weekly, Group 2, Volume Number 012 MTH101 Monthly, Group 1, Volume Number 012 YRY101 Yearly, G roup 1, Volume Number 01H After mounting a tape, BACKUP Manager processes information stored in< the tape-volume header record before writing to the tape.3 Specifically, BACKUP Manager does the following:F Checks the tape-volume protection information to ensure that youF have the right to access the volume in the manner you requested.H Checks the tape expiration date to prevent you from initializing a$ tape that has not yet expired.C Compares the tape vo lume label you specify to the tape volumeF label of the tape to ensure that you do not create a save set onH the wrong tape. BACKUP Manager uses the following guidelines when processing tape labels:D - If you specify a label that is longer than six characters,H BACKUP Manager truncates (shortens) the label to the first six characters.G - If the volume label is fewer than six characters long, BACKUPF Manager adds spaces to lengt hen the label to six characters.C - The first four characters of the tape volume label eitherC (a) must match the first four characters of the label youL specified, or (b) must end with one or more underscore characters.B For example, the volume label ABN_ matches the ABN label: specification but does not match the ABNE label.H - If the fifth and sixth characters of the tape volume label areH numbers between 0 and 9, BACKUP Manage r does not compare theseC characters with corresponding characters in the label youF specified. Otherwise, the fifth and sixth characters in theF tape volume label must match the corresponding characters inA the label specified in the BACKUP Manager command line.!wwi1 ropera_types Types of restore operationsD The following restore operations are available by choosing eitherE "Restore Volume ..." or "Restore Selected Fil es ..." from the file@ menu.
