Scheduling Data Protection Tasks For example, to calculate the capacity of a SnapServer 520 with 1 TB total capacity in its default state, consider both the hardware and software configuration: • The four 250 GB disk drives each provide 240 GB of formatted capacity. • The four disks when joined in a RAID 5 configuration net 720 GB of capacity for the RAID. • The snapshot space is 20% of the space available on the RAID, reducing the space on the RAID for the data volume by 144 GB. Scheduling Data Protection Tasks Note For some SnapServers, additional licenses are required for NetVault, SnapEDR, and antivirus functionality. Scheduling backups, snapshots, and antivirus scans, and creating a disaster recovery image preserves your server configuration and protects your data from loss or corruption. Snapshots can be taken to provide a point-in-time image of files and changes to files to help in quickly recovering from accidental deletion or modification, or to facilitate performing an offline tape backup of an active data partition. Navigate to Storage > Snapshots in the browser-based Administration Tool to schedule snapshots or modify the space available for storing snapshots. Snapshots should be taken when the system is idle or under low data traffic. Set up antivirus protection by clicking the SnapExtensions icon, and then clicking CA Antivirus. Click the checkbox to enable antivirus, and click OK. When the configuration link appears, click it to launch the eTrust administration user interface for configuration and scheduling of virus scans and virus signature file updates. Create a disaster recovery image (DRImage) on the Maintenance > Disaster Recovery page. This DRImage should be created after the server configuration is complete, and can be used to recover the server or a replacement server to the configured state. See "Disaster Recovery" on page 117 for detailed information on creating and using disaster recovery images. GuardianOS contains built-in support for BakBone Netvault to back up to a local tape and for SnapEDR to synchronize and back up to and from other SnapServers. GuardianOS also supports several third-party backup agents. For information on using these backup methods to help protect your data, see "Backup and Replication Solutions" on page 147. 18 SnapServer Administrator Guide

Scheduling Data Protection Tasks

SnapServer Administrator Guide

For example, to calculate the capacity of a SnapServer 520 with 1 TB total capacity in

its default state,

consider both the hardware and software configuration:

•

The four 250 GB disk drives each provide 240 GB of formatted capacity.

•

The four disks when joined in a RAID 5 configuration net 720 GB of capacity for

the RAID.

•

The snapshot space is 20% of the space available on the RAID, reducing the space

on the RAID for the data volume by 144 GB.

Scheduling Data Protection Tasks

Note

For some SnapServers, additional licenses are required for NetVault,

SnapEDR, and antivirus functionality.

Scheduling backups, snapshots, and antivirus scans, and creating a disaster

recovery image preserves your server configuration and protects your data from

loss or corruption. Snapshots can be taken to provide a point-in-time image of files

and changes to files to help in quickly recovering from accidental deletion or

modification, or to facilitate performing an offline tape backup of an active data

partition.

Navigate to

Storage > Snapshots

in the browser-based Administration Tool to

schedule snapshots or modify the space available for storing snapshots. Snapshots

should be taken when the system is idle or under low data traffic.

Set up antivirus protection by clicking the

SnapExtensions

icon, and then clicking

CA Antivirus

Click the checkbox to enable antivirus, and

click

When the

configuration link appears, click it to launch the

Trust administration user interface

for configuration and scheduling of virus scans and virus signature file updates.

Create a disaster recovery image (DRImage) on the

Maintenance > Disaster Recovery

page. This DRImage should be created after the server configuration is complete,

and can be used to recover the server or a replacement server to the configured

state. See

“Disaster Recovery” on page 117 for detailed information on creating and

using disaster recovery images.

GuardianOS contains built-in support for BakBone Netvault to back up to a local

tape and for SnapEDR to synchronize and back up to and from other SnapServers.

GuardianOS also supports several third-party backup agents. For information on

using these backup methods to help protect your data, see “Backup and Replication

Solutions” on page 147.
