Backup Exec

When you create a backup job, you can specify the following information:

• Name and description of the backup job

• Backup destination

• Location of the data to be backed up

• Schedule for the backup to occur

Table: Status icons

Status icon	Description
	Everything under this directory is selected for backup. Anything new added to this directory (or its subdirectories) is automatically selected for backup.
	This directory is excluded from the backup. If this directory was previously backed up, it is removed from the backup destination.
	Some or all of the subdirectories of this node can be selected for backup. Anything new added to this directory may or may not automatically be backed up. For example, a folder may contain an exclude rule for *.exe. If the file word.exe is added to the folder, it is not backed up, but the file work.doc is backed up.
	This node has not been selected for backup, and neither have any of its subdirectories. Some subdirectories may have been excluded (see the red ‘x’), which causes them to be removed.

   Whenever a file changes	Initiates a continuous backup of the folder or file. That is, a file or folder is backed up whenever changes are made to it. This job starts as soon as the user clicks OK.
   According to a schedule	Lets you set a regularly scheduled or periodic backup of the folder or file. If this option is selected, you need to define the backup schedule. This job starts if it is in the backup window and the user clicks OK. Backup job schedules are always shown in the local time of the user who is creating the backup job. If backup jobs are created for servers that are located in other time zones, you must convert that server’s time to your local time.
   Initiate the backup job manually	Lets you back up the contents of the folder or file on demand. This job will not start automatically.

8. Verify that the backup job was created by observing that the Job shows on the list of jobs from the Job Monitor.
