Figure 3-6 Backup Management
Designing a Backup Schedule
There are two kinds of backups that can be performed with
HP Easytime/XL:
• Full backups
• Partial backups
A full backup copies all user files on the system whether or not the
information has changed since the last full backup. A partial backup
copies only those files that have changed since the last full backup. Your
backup schedule should include both. A typical backup schedule allows
for one full backup one day a week, and a partial backup on each
remaining work day.
If such a schedule is used, no more than 24 hours worth of information
would be lost if the system should fail.
Refer to Figure 3-6 for a Backup Management screen.
Scheduling Backups
With HP Easytime/XL, you can set up the backup schedule and then
use the Backup Management screen to review backup information.
1. From the Backup Management screen, select one or more days of the
week.
