Selecting data for a backup

You must use sets — Backup Selection Set, Backup Options Set, Schedule Set, Target Set, and Advanced Options Set — to create a backup job.

 
* 
TIP: To use an existing set, click Create Backup Job, and select the set from the Selections list.
1
In the Navigation pane, click Create Backup Job.
You can also start the wizard from the Guided Configuration link. In the Navigation pane, click Guided Configuration. On the NetVault Configuration Wizard page, click Create backup jobs.
2
In Job Name, specify a name for the job.
Assign a descriptive name that lets you easily identify the job when monitoring its progress or restoring data. The job name can contain alphanumeric and nonalphanumeric characters, but it cannot contain non-Latin characters. On Windows, there is no length restriction. However, a maximum of 40 characters is recommended.
3
Next to the Selections list, click .

In the list of plug-ins on the NetVault Selections page, open Nutanix Files, and expand the server name node to display the list of Mount Targets.
 
* 
TIP: If the plug-in is running on a Windows client, then only SMB or multiprotocol Mount Targets where primary protocol is SMB are available for selection. If the plug-in is running on a Linux client, then only NFS or multiprotocol Mount Targets where the primary protocol is NFS are available for selection.
 
* 
IMPORTANT: Only Mount Targets with CFT Backup capabilities are available for selection.l

Select the Mount Targets that you want to back up.
 
* 
IMPORTANT: If you are performing an Incremental Backup, select the Backup Selection Set of the last Full Backup.
6
Click Save, enter a name in the Create New Set dialog box, and click Save.
The name can contain alphanumeric and nonalphanumeric characters, but it cannot contain non-Latin characters. There is no length restriction. However, a maximum of 40 characters is recommended.

Setting backup options

The next step involves creating the Backup Options Set or selecting an existing one.

TIP: To use an existing set, in the Plugin Options list, select the set that you want to use.
To select the backup options:
1
Next to the Plugin Options list, click .
2
In the Backup Type section, select Full or Incremental whichever is applicable.
A Full Backup performs a complete backup of the set of items that have been selected. A Full Backup does not depend on any other backup and can be restored in a single step. An Incremental Backup backs up the set of items that have changed since the last backup.
 
* 
TIP: To avoid long restore times, take a full backup at regular intervals.
3
In the Maximum Number of Parallel Streams box, enter the applicable number.
The default is 4. You can enter up to 32 to improve load balancing or performance, or both. However, if you are using tape drives, the number of parallel backup streams selected must be equal to or less than the number of available drives.

The name can contain alphanumeric and nonalphanumeric characters, but it cannot contain non-Latin characters. On Windows, there is no length restriction; however, a maximum of 40 characters is recommended.

Finalizing and submitting the job
