How does connected backup work

My last job archived things over a year old and that seemed to be a good balance to keep the exchange boxes small enough and users not needing to go back into the archive very frequently. We're not - the client is. Let's just say we're changing the client's perception that Macs are not compatible and therefore "out of scope" when it comes to integrating with existing infrastructure There are a few errors every backup, but everything appears to be saved.

The server side reports back unknown OS for Mt. We're on 8. Sorry, should have qualified. The user can setup specifics on the backup. I have chosen to not backup the MUD as everything should be on the server. Getting some warnings about saved. But no show stoppers yet. Strange our Autonomy support said that it was support on MT.

They even said that they would support the previous agent on MT. After I had it running on beta MT. I told you so From what Symantec has said with their Enterprise Vault product, Microsoft has not exposed any APIs that developers can use to create equivalent products on the Mac. I believe the user has to be logged in for backups to occur, so File Vault 2 shouldn't be a problem? While testing Autonomy Connected, I'm able to back up. I have not been able to restore email to a different machine.

Are there limitations? Is there an email archiving solution in place? If so, the MUD folder may not need to be backed up. We've been backing up Macs for a couple of years.

We rolled out v8. I just found out from my techs that we've never done a restore to another machine. I rebuilt but have to figure out how to reinstall CNB and restore with my old account number, which I do have. Do you have any words of wisdom or command line options to share? I'd get a paper trail going on this, to ensure the team responsible for the solution have a true backup and restore system in place.

Thanks Don. Unfortunately, I have no say over design of this system but agree with you. Fortunately for me, my CNB admin came back from holiday today and pointed me to the "Reinstall Agent" option of the service center.

Worked like a charm except that the app is not "Apple or identified developer" signed so I had to bypass GateKeeper.

Changing your automatic backup settings Provided your Connected Backup Agent rules settings, preferences, and permissions allow it, you can change which files or folders you backup your backup set , your backup schedule, or your backup options.

To change your default backup set, proceed as follows, Open the Back Up panel. The Agent scans the files on your computer to determine which files are selected for backup. The check box next to a folder or file name indicates whether the item is selected for backup: The item is selected for backup. The item is not selected for backup. Some items in the folder are selected for backup. To view a folder's contents, select the folder in the left pane or double-click the folder in the right pane.

To select a folder or file for the next backup, click the check box next to that item. A green check mark appears. To remove a folder or file from the next backup, select the check box next to that item until the check box is cleared. If the check box next to a folder or file name is disabled, you cannot change whether to select the item for backup.

Changing your backup schedule To change your backup schedule, proceed as follows, Open the Back Up panel. Click the time that the Next Backup field displays.

The Backup Schedule tab opens. Select how you want to back up files: Back up files automatically according to the following schedule — Sets the automatic backup schedule, but you may still perform a manual backup at any time. If you enable automatic backup, select each day that you want the Agent to perform a backup, and then select a time period for the backup to occur.

Be sure to select a time period when your computer is on and the backup process does not interfere with other resource-intensive activities. Do not back up automatically - Backup occurs only when you manually initiate it. Click OK. Retrieving backed up files or folders To retrieve previously backed up files or folders, proceed as follows. Open the Retrieve panel. Note: If the Retrieve panel is closed, then click the down arrow to the left of Back Up to open it The Retrieve panel displays the most recent version of files on the Data Centre.

Open the Show Versions list, and specify the file versions that you want the Agent to display. The user should contact the Bentley Help Desk if the results show that some files were not backed up.

The initial backup may take around an hour and is dependent on the number and size of files and folders that need to be backed up on your computer. Each subsequent backup should take a few minutes, but will depend on the amount of data that has been modified or added to the computer since the last backup. Audio, video and 'temporary' files will not be backed up by default; however, you may opt to include these files if they are used for business-related purposes.

If you are unsure if important business-related files are being backed up, please contact the helpdesk for clarification. A file or folder that is deleted from your computer will be available to be retrieved from your backup set for 60 days.

An excluded file or folder will be immediately removed from your backup set and become irretrievable. You must then install the software to backup your computer. If you need to recover an existing account, please login to Account Management. When you complete the registration process, you will be given an account number and registration code. We recommend you print this information, because you will need the registration code to activate your account on your computer.

Once you download the software installation program, you must install the software. You will use the registration code to complete the installation process.

The registration code is for one-time use and will not work if you run the installation program on another computer.
