Before you back up data, you should develop a backup strategy that includes the backup method, frequency, and data retention methods that are appropriate for your organization. You may have different strategies for different areas of the organization.
You should also ensure that you have the proper user rights to run back up jobs.
See Required user rights for backup jobs.
You must configure storage before creating backup jobs. You can set up Backup Exec to use specific storage devices or logical groupings of devices, such as storage pools.
See About the Configure Storage wizard.
Specifically, you might want to perform the following tasks to help you manage storage hardware and media most effectively:
Create disk storage so that Backup Exec can automatically manage backup data retention.
Create media sets to manage data retention for tape or disk cartridge media.
See About media sets.
Configure deduplication disk storage to optimize storage and network bandwidth.
