Details. By default, all of the machine's disks are selected. If you want to back up specific disks,

volumes, or files, click Items to back up and select the necessary objects. Also, you may want to

exclude the USB drive from the backup.

3. Under Where to back up, click Location. In Path, type the path to a folder on the USB drive. Or,

you can select this folder in the tree. Click OK to confirm your selection.

4. Click OK to immediately start the backup.

Details. You will see the window with the backup activity progress and details.

5.3.2 Recovering a volume

In this step, you will recover a volume. Using a similar procedure, you can recover disks, files, or the

entire machine. To start with, we recommend that you recover a volume that does not contain an

operating system or a boot loader. In this case, the software will not have to reboot the machine.

1. Connect the console to the machine.

2. Click Recover.

3. Click Select data, click Data path, and then type the path to the folder on the USB drive where

the backup is stored. Or, you can click Browse and select this drive in the tree. Click OK to

confirm your selection.

Details. The software displays the archives and backups stored in the selected location.

4. Expand the archive you have created, and then click the backup.

5. Select the volume you want to recover. Click OK to confirm your selection.

6. By default, the volume will be recovered to the original location. The software also allows you to

recover a volume to a different volume or unallocated space.

Make sure you do not need the data contained on the target volume. Close all applications that use the

target volume or any of its files.

7. Click OK to immediately start the recovery.

Details. You will see the window with the recovery activity progress and details.

5.4 Using centralized management

When the console is connected to the management server, you can set up a backup plan for multiple

machines. You can also view all of the backup and recovery activities and their results in a single

place.

5.4.1 Creating a centralized vault

In this step, you will create an unmanaged centralized vault to back up the machines to. An

unmanaged vault is just a shortcut to a shared folder on the network. In general, it is recommended

that you install a storage node and create a managed vault on the node to be able to use the benefit

of deduplication.

1. Connect the console to the management server.

2. In the Navigation tree, click Vaults, and then click Create.

3. Specify the name of the new vault. Optionally, type the comments on the vault.

4. Click Path. In the Path field, type the folder path. Or you can select this folder in the tree. Click

OK to confirm your selection. If prompted, provide access credentials for the location.

5. Click OK to create the vault.
