Backing Up File Spaces for a Node

To back up one or more file spaces for a node, complete the following fields and then click Finish, or click Cancel to end this task.

Filespace Name

Select the name of the file space that will be backed up. If you do not select a name, all file spaces will be backed up.

Management Class Name

Enter the name of the management class to which this backup data will be bound.  If you do not enter a management class, the backup data is bound to the default management class of the policy domain to which the node is assigned.

Mode

Select an option to specify how the backup is performed.  The default is differential.

Full The backup is performed on the entire file system. 
Differential The backup is performed only on the files that have changed since the previous full backup.  If differential backup is chosen and there is no corresponding full backup, a full backup is performed.

Wait for Completion

Select an option. The default is No.

Yes The processing for this task takes place in the background.  You may use the Query Process task to monitor the background processing of this task.
No The processing for this task takes place in the foreground.  Messages that are created are not displayed until the processing has completed.  If you are backing up multiple file systems, all backup processes must complete before this task completes.

Table of Contents

Select whether table of contents (TOC) information is saved for each file-system backup.

Select an option. The default is Preferred.

Yes Table of contents information must be saved for each file-system backup. A backup fails if an error occurs during creation of the table of contents.  
No Table of contents information is not saved for file-system backups.
Preferred Table of contents information should be saved for file-system backups. However, a backup does not fail just because an error occurs during
creation of the table of contents.
