2nd Request: Backup Exec V8.5, HDD Backup Device

Initial posting: 3/4/2005, 2:03 PM PST

Am currently using Backup Exec V8.5 on a Windows 2000 Server system
backing up to a 40GB DLT tape.

Is it possible to assign a separate hard disk drive on the same
machine as a backup device in lieu of a tape drive device? Where in
the menu system would I find this? Tnx es 73!

 

Hi,
I can give you the information for version 8.6.
1. Devices---Backup to Disk Folders, rightclick, New Backup Folder etc.
2. Media----User Media Sets, New Media Set etc.
3. Job Definitions--- Properties of a job, General, Destination...

I hope this helps you, but my manual is in the office, and i
have only the manger at home


bye
Christoph

 

Thanks, Crhistoph, for your response. I have since discovered that
V8.5 does not support Backup-to-Disk. So I have two choices: Upgrade
to current version of Backup Exec or use Windows Backup. The former
is price prohibitive at present, so I guess I will go with the latter.
