Note for Linux users: To specify a Common Internet File System (CIFS) network share which is mounted on a
mount point such as /mnt/share, select this mount point instead of the network share itself.
To back up data to an FTP or SFTP server, type the server name or address in the Path field as
follows:
ftp://ftp_server:port _number or sftp://sftp_server:port number
If the port number is not specified, port 21 is used for FTP and port 22 is used for SFTP.
After entering access credentials, the folders on the server become available. Click the
appropriate folder on the server.
You can access the server as an anonymous user if the server enables such access. To do so, click
Use anonymous access instead of entering credentials.
According to the original FTP specification, credentials required for access to FTP servers are transferred
through a network as plaintext. This means that the user name and password can be intercepted by an
eavesdropper using a packet sniffer.
To back up data to a locally attached tape device, expand the Tape drives group, then click the
required device.
2. Using the archives table
To assist you with choosing the right destination, the table displays the names of the archives
contained in each location you select. While you are reviewing the location content, archives can
be added, deleted or modified by another user or by the program itself according to scheduled
operations. Use the Refresh button to refresh the list of archives.
3. Naming the new archive
Once you select the archive destination, the program generates a name for the new archive and
displays it in the Name field. The name commonly looks like Archive(1). The generated name is
unique within the selected location. If you are satisfied with the automatically generated name,
click OK. Otherwise enter another unique name and click OK.
If the automatically generated name looks like [Virtualization Server Type] [Virtual Machine
Name], this means that the name contain variables. Such might be the case when you have
selected virtual machines to back up. Virtualization Server Type stands for the virtualization
server type (ESX, Hyper-V or other). Virtual Machine Name stands for the virtual machine name.
You can add suffixes to the name but never delete the variables, since each virtual machine has
to back up to a separate archive with the unique name.
Backing up to an existing archive
You can configure the backup plan to back up to an existing archive. To do so, select the archive in
the archives table or type the archive name in the Name field. If the archive is protected with a
password, the program will ask for it in the pop-up window.
By selecting the existing archive, you are meddling in the area of another backup plan that uses the
archive. This is not an issue if the other plan is discontinued, but in general you should follow the
rule: "one backup plan - one archive". Doing the opposite will not prevent the program from
functioning but is not practical or efficient, except for some specific cases.
Why two or more plans should not back up to the same archive
1. Backing up different sources to the same archive makes using the archive difficult from the
usability standpoint. When it comes to recovery, every second counts, but you might be lost in
the archive content.
Backup plans that operate with the same archive should back up the same data items (say, both
plans back up volume C.)
