Customizing Your Backup Jobs To back up to disk, use Device Configuration to configure an FSD. Wildcard Usage with Tape Library Groups The wildcard characters' asterisk and question mark are supported in the Group field. When wildcard characters are used to specify a job's library group destination, the job is sent to a group whose name matches the criteria and has at least one available medium, as long as there is at least one available drive associated with the library. A medium is available when it is not being used by another job (NOTE: no special consideration is given to medium suitability as determined by the job schema; for example, Media Pool). If more than one job uses wildcards and more than one group matches the selection criteria, all jobs go to the first group with an available medium. Typing a name in the media field forces the job to be directed to a group that matches the criteria and contains the specified medium, even if the medium is busy. If there is no medium with the specified name in any of the matching groups, but there is a blank medium in a matching group, it is used and renamed. If there is no blank medium the user is prompted to insert one. Note: The media field does not support wildcard characters. When a media pool is specified, a medium from that pool is used if there is one available in the first matching group. If there is no such medium in the group, but there is a blank medium, it is renamed and added to the pool. If there is no blank medium the user is prompted to insert one. Defining a Schedule You can configure your backup job to use a custom schedule or a rotation scheme by using the BrightStor ARCserve Backup template schemes or by specifying your own rotation parameters. You can also specify a repeat method and the following backup methods for each backup: ■ Full (Keep Archive Bit)-Performed each time the job is repeated and keeps the archive bit. ■ Full (Clear Archive Bit)-Performed each time the job is repeated and clears the archive bit. ■ Incremental backup-Backs up only those files whose archive bits have been set since the last full or incremental backup was performed. After each backup, archive bits are reset so that they are not backed up during the next incremental backup job. 3-6 Administrator Guide
