4 Managing data protection

The Automated Storage Manager provides data protection through the use of snapshots and backups.

You can configure these data protection methods through the Data Protection page of ASM's application

wizards, or you can configure and modify data protection settings after running the wizards by

accessing the Snapshots and Backup actions in the ASM Actions pane.

For more information on available data protection methods, see the following:

• “Scheduling and running snapshots” on page 35

• “Managing snapshots” on page 36

• “Scheduling backups” on page 38

• “Managing backups” on page 38

NOTE:

Backups and snapshots are disabled in ASM for an Exchange storage group or a SQL Server database

if one or more of the components of the Exchange storage group or SQL Server database are not

hosted. To host components for a storage group or database, start the Host an Exchange Storage

Group Wizard or Host a SQL Server Database Wizard as appropriate, select the storage group or

database, and then select the components on the Select Storage Group Components page that are

not currently hosted.

Scheduling and running snapshots

From the Snapshots property tab, you can configure schedules for snapshots.

Snapshots cannot be scheduled on a target HP Storage System running ASM; the snapshot schedule

must be set on the system that is hosting the component data.

IMPORTANT:

Snapshots and backups are not supported on user-defined iSCSI LUN applications.

1. Select an Exchange storage group, SQL Server database, user-defined application, or shared

folder in the content pane.

2. In the Actions pane, click Snapshots and then click Configure Snapshot Schedule. The Snapshots

property tab displays.

3. Click Add to add a snapshot to the snapshot schedule.

4. Select a snapshot frequency (hourly, daily, weekly, monthly) for snapshots.

5. Enter a start date for snapshots.

6. Enter a start time for snapshots.

7. To add another snapshot to the snapshot schedule, repeat steps 2 through 5.
