Backing up the source NetVault Server

To back up the server, complete steps outlined in the following topics.

Prerequisites for an offline backup

Before initiating a backup with the Plug-in Server, review the following topics for details on prerequisites that must be met.

Verifying Disk Geometry and Device Size

Before backing up any portion of a NetVault Server’s hard drive, note the Disk Size and the Disk Geometry of the selected drive. If these items are not accounted for, a restore might fail.

A Client drive is divided into three partitions. The primary partition is 10 gigabytes (GB), the first logical partition is 7 GB and the second is 3 GB. A backup of the first logical partition is performed with the Plug-in Server. On restore of the system after a hard drive failure, if the first logical partition was restored, it must be restored to the proper partition — the first logical partition — or the restore fails.

1
Open the NetVault Selections page, and double-click the NetVault Server — the system containing the Plug-in Server — to open it.
2
Open the Plug-in Server by double-clicking it.
3
Double-click the self node displayed under the plug-in to reveal the disks contained within.
