Post-installation tasks
■ Decide if your backup will be to a tape device or a disk device. You can configure
both devices when you prepare your Backup Exec environment.
Note the following:
■ If you’re backing up to a tape device, verify that the device is supported.
You can install drivers for the devices when you configure your Backup
Exec environment.
■ If you’re backing up to a disk device using the Backup-to-Disk feature,
decide where you can create a backup folder. You should create it on a disk
that won’t be included in the backup jobs and that has enough free space
to contain the backup job.
■ Understand how Backup Exec provides overwrite protection for your media.
■ Understand the default media set and its infinite overwrite protection period.
■ Learn about creating new media sets with weekly, monthly, or quarterly
retention periods.
■ Decide which resource credential you want your Backup Exec logon account
to use when browsing and making backup selections. You can use an existing
Backup Exec logon account, or create a new one.
■ Decide the format that you want to display all reports, either HTML or Adobe
Portable Document Format (PDF). The default setting is HTML.
