How to Create and Manage Backup Job Template?
Configuration of backup jobs involves a series of steps to be followed. Every organization based on requirements sticks to a particular format of settings or chooses to customize.
If the former is the case then you can use this feature from BDRSuite to create a backup job template. You will be able to make use of this template while configuring new backup jobs which require similar configuration settings as that of the already created template. Thus enabling you to skip steps every time you configure a backup.
In the VMware/Hyper-V/Windows page, choose the Backup tab and navigate to Manage Backup Job Template, and select Create New Backup Job Template.
A Backup Job Template Configuration – Basic Template Details page will open where the following details are to be filled;
- Backup Job Template Name: Give a name to the template you are going to create
- Template Type: Choose the type of template you want from options like VMware vSphere, Microsoft Hyper-V, Microsoft Windows(Disk Image/Files & Folder), Linux (Files & Folders) and Mac (Files & Folders)
- Backup Repository: Select either Block Storage or Object Storage based on the requirement
- Repository name: Give a name to the repository by choosing the option Add Backup Repository or choose from an already added repository using the dropdown list
- Use Existing Template Configuration: If you have already created a template then you can choose whether or not to use it by selecting the options Yes or No
- Select an Existing Backup Job Template: All the existing backup templates will be listed here and any of which can be chosen from the dropdown list
- Template Description: Give a description of the template you are creating
Click 'Next' to continue with the configuration process. These steps are similar to the general backup configuration. For more details, refer to the 'NAS Backup Configuration' article.
The backup job templates created will be listed in this which can be viewed, edited, and deleted based on the requirement.
