Define the periods of time during which backups of specific systems can be

done.

• Local versus network backups

Determine which systems, that the backup devices are connected to, are

backed up locally and which are backed up over the network.

• Backup policy implementation

• How backups are done, and which backup options are used

This defines the frequency of full and incremental backups. It also defines the

backup options that are used, and whether the backups are permanently

protected with the backup media stored at a remote site.

• How the systems are grouped into backup specifications

Consider how best to group backup specifications. This can be on the basis

of departments, data types, or backup frequency.

• How the backups are scheduled

Consider using the staggered approach, whereby full backups are scheduled

for different clients (backup specifications) on different days to avoid network

load, device load, and time window issues.

• Retaining data on media and information about backups

Consider protecting data from being overwritten by newer backups for a

specified amount of time.

Define the period of time that the Data Protector Catalog Database should

store information about backups.

• Device configuration

Determine the devices to be used for backups and the systems they are connected

to. Connect the backup devices to systems with the greatest amount of data so

that as much data as possible is backed up locally and not through the network.

This increases backup speed.

If you have large amounts of data to back up, consider using a library device

• Media management

Determine the type of media to be used, how to group the media into media

pools, and how to position objects on the media.

• Vaulting

Decide whether to store media to a safe place, where it is kept for a specific

period of time.

• Backup administrators and operators
