Hi professional in this forum
I have an Dell ML6000 connected to a Dell 2950 PowerEdge server via fibre. I am new in this BackUp exec and I am only using my knowledge gained from reading the manuals onhow to conduct a back up. I can access my ML6000 from anywhere on the network, and I can also see the drives (as robotic drives) on BackUp Exec. Now the problem is backing up data. I ran the back up wizard but it doesnt allow me to back up the data, i have a couple of questions in this regard (some might bbe stupid questions):
1. When one is backing up their data, where is the tape (these 800G tape hard drives) suppose to be. Is it in the drive itself or the storage area (slots), i figured it cant be the I/E stations for obvious reasons.
2. And as a matter of fact, what are the functions of these things. I mean i know the I/E station is used to import or export, storage area for tape storage or library....then what is the drive there for?
3. When configuring a job on back up exec....what is the use of having a media set or can you just back up without one. Which robotic device do you chose? (I currently can see 1 robotic device with 2 drives)
Any relevent documents is deeply appreciated
Regards,
The not so Professional
