Copying a set

You can use the clone method to create a set from an existing set. After the set is cloned, you can change the data selections or various options stored in the set.

NetVault Backup lets you clone a set when creating or modifying a job. You can also use the Edit option on the Manage Sets page to perform this task.

To copy a set:
1
Use the applicable method to access the set that you want to copy:
•
To clone a set when creating a job: Access the Create Backup Job or Create Restore Job page, and click the Create New button corresponding to the type of set that you want to create.
•
To clone a set when editing a job: Access the Edit Backup Job or Edit Restore Job page, and click the Create New button corresponding to the type of set that you want to create.
•
To clone a set from the Manage Sets page: In the Navigation pane, click Manage Sets. In the Set Type list, select the type of set that you want to modify. In the list of available sets, select a set, and click Edit.
2
On the page that is displayed, click Clone Existing Set.
3
In the Choose a set to load dialog box, select the set that you want to copy, and click Load.
4
Modify the data selections or job options, if required.
5
Click Save. In the Edit Set dialog box, type a name, and click Save to copy the selections to a new set.

Deleting a set

If a set is no longer required, you can remove it from the NetVault Database. You cannot delete a set if it is in use by an active job or a scheduled job.

NOTE: When you delete a set, it affects the existing jobs that use the set.
