Backup for SharePoint 6.12 - User Guide

Specifying Backup Storage Locations

The Backup Storage Locations window is used to configure where farm backup sets will be stored.

Backup Storage Locations window for Installation Type = Complete

ConfigWizard_080_Complete_BackupStorageLocations

Backup Storage Locations window for Installation Type = Granular

ConfigWizard_180_Granular_BackupStorageLocations

To add a new Backup Location

1.Select the Add button to open the Add Backup Set Location dialog window.

2.Enter a name for the backup set location in the name field.

3.Select the backup set location type from the drop-down menu below. You can back up content from your SharePoint farms to a network location that you specify with a UNC path. You can also back up content to a Tivoli Storage Manager (TSM) client node, Azure and/or Amazon account. You must set up a TSM virtual server client node, Azure and/or Amazon account before you can back up to these options.

info

NOTE: If you remove a backup location that Metalogix Backup for SharePoint uses to store data in TSM, removing the location removes references to the data in Metalogix Backup for SharePoint. In addition, Metalogix Backup for SharePoint sets the data objects to Inactive in TSM but does not automatically delete the data itself. If you need to delete the data from TSM, you should use the TSM management tools to do so.

4.Provide the connection details for the chosen location type as required.

Example 1: Settings for Backup Set Location type = Network Location (UNC Path)

ConfigWizard_090_Add_Backup_Set_Location_UNC

Example 2: Settings for Backup Set Location type = Tivoli Storage Manager (TSM)

ConfigWizard_090_Add_Backup_Set_Location_TSM

5.Choose whether or not to set this location as the default for all backups by selecting the check box.

6.Select Save.

To Edit an Existing Backup Location

To edit an existing backup location, highlight it from the locations list and select Edit. Then modify the configuration as required and select Save.

To Remove a Backup Location

To remove a backup location, select it from the locations list and click Remove. Then confirm your choice by selecting Yes.

ConfigWizard_110_Remove_Backup_Set_Location

To Change a Default Backup Set Location

To change the default backup set location, select the location from the locations list and click Set as default. A green check mark in the Default? column will indicate that the new backup location is set as default.
