The Incremental Backup object is
used to make a backup copy of entire file systems, or files and
folders that you specify. The first time you run an incremental
backup, all files and folders that you specify are backed up. After
the first time, only new and changed files and folders are backed
up.
Use the Incremental Backup object to
make copies of files and folders that you use on a regular
basis.
To configure the Incremental Backup
object, you need to know the Tivoli Storage Manager (TSM) policy
domain and node that you want to back up, and the names of the
files and folders you want to back up.
Connection
|
Click the ellipsis button
(...) and browse for the
name of the connection that you want use.
|
Policy domain
|
Click the ellipsis button
(...) and browse for the
name of the TSM policy domain that you want to back up items
from.
|
Node
|
Click the ellipsis button
(...) and browse for the
name of the node within the TSM policy domain that you want to back
up items from.
Note: You cannot backup from multiple
nodes.
|
Based on node options
|
Back up files or folders
according to options that are already configured in TSM for this
node.
|
Selected files or folders
|
Specify the files and folders
that you want to include in the incremental backup. Click the
Add button and type the
name of the file or folder that you want to back up. Click
OK and repeat for each file
or folder that you want to include in the backup.
Note: You must specify each folder and
file that you want to include in the backup. For example, if you
specify the name of a folder, it will not automatically include the
files in that folder; you must specify the folder name and the
files within that folder to include them in the backup. You may use
wildcards such as * and ?.
|
Include subdirectories
|
Include sub-folders of any
folder you specify when you select the Selected files or folders option.
|
Incremental
|
Select one of the following
backup options from the drop-down list:
•
|
Complete – Include all files and
folders in the folder tree in the incremental backup.
|
•
|
Date only – Include files whose
modification date and time is later than the date and time of the
last incremental backup. Files added to the backup with earlier
modification dates and times than the last incremental back are not
included. You must run one complete incremental backup before you
can use this option.
|
•
|
Without journal – Do not generate a
journal of backup activity when you run the incremental
backup.
|
|
Compress objects
|
Compress the files and folders
that you are backing up.
|
Continue compressing if object
grows
|
Compress new files and folders
that are added to the incremental backup.
|
Use less memory (slower)
|
Use less system memory to
complete the backup. This may be useful on computers where other
processes require system resources while a backup is
occurring.
|
Back up NTFS security
information
|
Include NTFS security
information in the backup.
|
Wait for completion of the
schedule
|
Opalis Software Inc. recommends
that you leave this check box checked. If you do not check it, the
object may complete before its schedule completes, and it may not
generate Published Data for subsequent objects.
