Performing an online backup of data with Windows Server® 2008 using Plug-in Live Client for Windows

As noted in previous sections, the Plug-in Live Client lets you back up full systems and individual partitions contained within that system, while they remain online and active.
The following sections describe the steps required to complete a successful backup with Plug-in Live Client:
•
Selecting data for a backup with Plug-in Live Client for Windows using Windows Server 2008
•
Setting backup options for a backup with Plug-in Live Client for Windows using Windows Server 2008
•
Finalizing and submitting the job for a backup with Plug-in Live Client for Windows using Windows Server 2008

Selecting data for a backup with Plug-in Live Client for Windows using Windows Server 2008

You must use sets — Backup Selection Set, Backup Options Set, Schedule Set, Target Set, and Advanced Options Set — to create a backup job and create a DR image. For more information, see the Dell NetVault Backup Administrator’s Guide.
1
In the Navigation pane of the NetVault Backup WebUI running on the NetVault Backup Server, 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 non-alphanumeric characters, but it cannot include non-English characters. On Windows®, there is no length restriction. However, a maximum of 40 characters is recommended on all platforms.
3
Next to the Selections list, click Create New.
4
Double-click the NetVault Backup Client that is to serve as a target for a DR backup, that is, a machine containing an installation of the Plug-in Live Client for Windows, to open it.
5
In the list of installed plug-ins, double-click the client that you want to back up, for example, the client on which the Plug-in Live Client is installed)
6
Double-click the Plug-in Live Client to open it and display the hard disks on the client system.
7
Select one of the following:
•
To select the entire disk for a backup, click the box to the left of the disk title.
•
To select specific items, double-click a disk to open it. Individual partitions are displayed and made available for selection. Information about each partition is displayed; for example, the partition number; the drive letter assigned — "C:", "D:"; the file system — NTFS, HPFS. Select the items that you want to back up. Selected items contain a green check, items that are not selected are blank, and omitted items contain a red cross.
8
Click Save, enter a name in the Create New Set dialog box, and click Save.
The name can contain alphanumeric and non-alphanumeric characters, but it cannot include non-English characters. On Windows®, there is no length restriction; however, a maximum of 40 characters is recommended.

Setting backup options for a backup with Plug-in Live Client for Windows using Windows Server 2008

The next step involves creating the Backup Options Set.
1
If you are using Windows Server 2008 or later and you do not want to back up only used blocks on a partition, click Create New next to the Plugin Options list.
2
Clear the Back up used blocks only for NTFS partitions option.
This option lets you back up only the used blocks on the partition, which can save a considerable amount of space and time. For example, if a machine has a 10GB “C:” drive and only 6GB is used, selecting this option backs up 6GB because this amount is the actual used space. The Back up used blocks only for NTFS partitions option is selected by default. If you clear this option, a discrepancy (4K) between the backup data and the size of the NTFS volume might be reported in the binary log; this feature is working as intended, and does not affect a restore.
3
Click Save to save the set.
4
In the Create New Set dialog box, specify a name for the set, and click Save.
The name can contain alphanumeric and non-alphanumeric characters, but it cannot include non-English characters. On Windows®, there is no length restriction; however, a maximum of 40 characters is recommended.
