Post-installation tasks
For best results before starting Backup Exec, do the following:
Make sure that your storage devices are connected and configured properly.
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.
