Managing the backup setting

This topic describes how to specify the naming convention you want used to form database backup Snapshot copy names and SnapInfo directory Snapshot copy names.

To set the backup naming convention option, complete the following steps.

Step

Action

1

Access the backup naming convention option:

  • From the SnapManager menu bar, select Options > Backup Setting.
  • From the Backup Wizard, go to the Backup Naming Convention screen.
2

Select the naming convention you want used to form database backup Snapshot copy names and SnapInfo directory Snapshot copy names:

  • If you want the most recent backup to be identified by the Snapshot copy name that includes the string recent, select the Use Generic option.

    This option is selected by default.

  • If you want all Snapshot copy names, even for the most recent backup, to contain the Snapshot copy creation date and time, select the Use Unique option.

    This is the Snapshot copy naming convention used by SnapManager for Microsoft Exchange releases prior to release 3.0.

For more detailed information, see SnapManager Snapshot copy naming conventions.

Click OK.

Result

SnapManager will apply the selected naming convention to all subsequent backup operations.
