Backup Repository Configuration
Backup Repository is where backup data is stored. You can pool together multiple storage volumes and create one or more backup repositories. The backup repository can then be configured as the backup data destination while creating backup jobs. You can add new storage volumes to a backup repository anytime and extend its backup storage capacity.
Vembu BDR repository management has a hybrid volume manager that supports scalable and extendable backup storage of different storage media such as Local drives, NAS(NFS and CIFS) and SAN(iSCSI and FC) |
- From the Management tab choose the Storage Pool option.
- If it is a fresh installation, you must configure a storage pool before you begin scheduling your backup jobs. Select the Click here option or Add option to configure the storage pool. Provide a storage pool name and select any set of volumes from the list of available storage volumes. Click Save. The space available and the backup location of that storage pool will be displayed. Click Next.
Only [a-z][A-Z][0-9][ - _ ] characters are allowed in the storage pool name |
- When you have added more than one storage pool, you can choose any storage pool as your default storage pool. You can modify the default storage pool by enabling Set as default option alongside the respective storage pool you wish to set as default. If a particular storage pool is made as default pool the backups that occur after this will be stored in the new default storage pool only. The increments of the old backups will be stored in the previously configured default pool.
- You can add network volumes using the click here option or Manage Network Drive option available in the Network Volume section.
