Protecting CPS with Backup Exec

You can back up several types of CPS data with Backup Exec.

CPS data that you can select for Backup Exec backup jobs includes the following:

  • CPS databases that contain information, such as CPS configuration settings, the CMS, and the indexing database.

  • Protection Servers and Business Servers.

  • File shares on Business Servers in the Backup Group.

  • Data from specific volumes on Business Servers in the Backup Group.

  • System-level files from Business Servers in the Backup Group.

Procedures for selecting data for backup or restore jobs in Backup Exec are detailed in the Symantec Backup Exec for Windows Servers Administrator’s Guide.

Depending on the kind of data that is backed up, you can use Backup Exec to restore the data to the CPS Protection Server or the Business Server in the Backup Group from which it was backed up, or to redirect the data to an alternate destination.
