The procedures for backing up CPS data are the same as backing up other data using Backup Exec. To protect all CPS data, ensure that backup jobs include selections from all servers in the Backup Group.
The Continuous Protection Server node is the gateway to all CPS data on the local Backup Exec server. When the Continuous Protection Server node is expanded, Backup Exec displays nodes for databases, protected resources, Business Servers, volumes, shares, and system-level files.
Table: Continuous Protection Server tree view elements describes the elements that are found in the expanded Continuous Protection Server tree view.
