How to run "user backup"

CHONG_WU · ‎01-08-2009

I select "user backup" this backup type , but it doesn't run, how to let it run? I also setup time on the start time window.If I run "manual backup" command, it says that no automatic schedule.

The 'User Backup' type is not the same as a scheduled Full or Incremental backup.

The 'User Backup' window basically sets a period of time (the Window) when a backup can be initiated direct from the Client (by the User) via the BAR GUI.

From the Admin Guide:

"...

User backup
A user initiates a user backup through the Backup, Archive, and Restore client interface. A user backup backs up all files that the user specifies. Users can start backups only during the times that are allowed on the schedule Start Window tab.

..."

If you need to manually run a backup of a client via the Admin Console you will need to set up a Full or Incremental schedule.

Good answer Andy.

Also be advised that users can only backup/restore files that they have read access to.

Not sure if this issue has been addressed, and I may be stating the obvious but if you are starting the backup from the client, as a user, then you will also need to make sure you have a user schedule created within your policy.

a user directed backup is just what it says, a user initiates the backup.

all is done from the client server.

Example script:

#!/usr/bin/sh

#set -vx
