Backup options

Thread needs solution

I would like to set up GFS backups on my 2008 File server but I am unable to find the option on any of the menus. Could someone please help?

Hello Tech Nician,

Thank you for posting. I will definitely resolve this issue for you.

In order to set up a GFS backup schedule, in the main backup menu please select where you would like to save your backups. After that, in the How to back up sub-menu please select GFS from the Backup scheme. Please check the screenshot attached to my post and you can also take a look at this article for more detailed instructions.

Please let me know if you have additional questions.

Thank you.

I thank you for your reply. However, I do not have those options on the menu shown in your screen shot.

I do not have How to back up.

'now/later/scheduled' looks like with 'using the archive name as in Echo' checkbox on.

I do not see the "How to back up" section. All the others are there but not that one:(

So, now the entire section where the schedule type dropdown list resides is missing? Screenshot please?

Hello all,

Thank you for your replies and your kind assistance dev-anon,

Tech Nician,

Most likely you did not specify a backup location in the backup plan wizard. As soon as you specify a location (Where to back up), you will then be able to view the Backup scheme option. Just in case, if you take a look in the solution part of this KB article, we have a couple of step-by-step tutorials with screenshots that show the entire scheduling process. I am very sorry for any inconvenience.

If you have additional questions, please let me know.

Thank you.

Well my screen does not match those in the samples shown. See attached screen shot.

Hello Tech Nician,

Thank you very much for replying.

I have modified the screenshot that you kindly provided and highlighted in red the section of the Backup Plan wizard that needs to be modified. After clicking Change and selecting where you want to save the backups, you will have the GFS option.

Please let me know if you have additional questions.

Thank you.
