Location of Backup Sets
Backup sets are stored in different locations for stand-alone systems and multi-server systems.
Multi Server System
In a multi-server system with an Enterprise Server and one or more SmartStruxure servers the backup sets are stored on the computer that runs the Enterprise server. This is true for both the backup set for the Enterprise Server, and the SmartStruxure server device. However, the SmartStruxure server device also store its own backup set.
Using WorkStation, you can copy the backup set to a location other than the SmartStruxure server.
For more information, see Copying a Backup Set to the Enterprise Server Local Directory .
In the Backup sets folder of the installation directory, Building Operation creates two directories:
AS Archives : Lists separate subfolders that reflect the name of each SmartStruxure server device. Each subfolder contains the backup files for that SmartStruxure server device.
Local : Lists all the local backup files for the Enterprise Server.
Stand-alone System
In a stand-alone system the backup set is saved in the Smart Struxure server device. Using WorkStation, you can save the backup set to a location other than the SmartStruxure server device.
For more information, see Saving a SmartStruxure Server Device Backup Set to Another Location .
The SmartStruxure server device stores only one backup set at a time, so each new backup operation overwrites the previous backup set.
