The Backup Wizard The Backup Wizard The Backup Wizard guides you through the process of creating and submitting a backup job of a single machine without running the Backup Manager. For procedural information on how to submit backup jobs using the Backup Wizard, see the BrightStor ARCserve Backup Getting Started. Customizing Your Backup Jobs The Backup Manager lets you customize your backup jobs using filters, options, and scheduling. For procedural information on how to submit backup jobs using the Backup Manager, see the online help. You can use the Backup Manager to: ■ Back up to various media or create a customized backup scheme. ■ Use filters to selectively exclude or include directories and files from backup jobs. ■ Create an automated backup scheme using the Grandfather-Father-Son (GFS) rotation scheme. ■ Apply filters to local source objects (such as volumes and nodes) or globally to the entire backup job, or to both at the same time. BrightStor ARCserve Backup allows you to back up the Windows registry as well as the system state for Windows systems. Each backup job requires a source and a destination (media). The Backup Manager screen provides three tabs to customize your backup job: ■ Source ■ Destination ■ Schedule Selecting the Source The source is the path that you want to back up. You can easily find the files you want to back up by browsing through the left panel to select the user-shared drives and directories. When selecting a source, you can either choose to back up an entire server or you can select individual drives, directories, and files to back up. To select an entire server, click the green box next to the server name. When you do this, all of the drives, directories, and files on the server are automatically selected. 3-2 Administrator Guide
