|
||
|
|
advantages of BRMS is that it manages your media for you. Therefore, before
|
||
|
|
you can use BRMS to do a backup, you have to add media to the BRMS media inventory.
|
||
|
|
The <span class="uicontrol">Add Media</span> wizard enables you to add backup media
|
||
|
|
to the pool of media that is already being used by Backup, Recovery and Media
|
||
|
|
Services. It also enables you to prepare the media for use. To add media,
|
||
|
|
follow these steps: </p>
|
||
|
|
<ol><li>In iSeries Navigator,
|
||
|
|
expand My Connections (or your active environment). </li>
|
||
|

<li>Expand a system with Backup, Recovery and Media Services installed on

it. </li>

<div class="section"><h4 class="sectiontitle">Step 3: Schedule the backup policy to run</h4><p>When you
|
||
|
|
use BRMS, you can do backups, restores, and media moves without having to
|
||
|
|
be nearby when they occur. For example, you have a four hour save window every
|
||
|
|
Saturday night when you could do a full system backup. With BRMS, you can
|
||
|
|
schedule the full system backup for Saturday night, but you don't have to
|
||
|
|
be onsite for the backup to occur. When you use the <span class="uicontrol">New
|
||
|
|
Backup Policy</span> wizard, you are given the option to schedule the
|
||
|
|
backup when you complete the wizard. To schedule a backup policy to run other
|
||
|
|
than when you create it, follow these steps:</p>
|
||
|
|
<ol><li>In iSeries Navigator,
|
||
|
|
expand <span class="uicontrol">Backup, Recovery and Media Services</span>.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Expand <span class="uicontrol">Backup Policies</span>.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Right-click the policy you want to schedule and select <span class="uicontrol">Schedule</span>.</li>
|
||
|
|
</ol>
|
||
|
|
<p>When you schedule a policy to run, keep in mind that only the items
|
||
|
|
that are scheduled to be backed up on the day you run the policy will be backed
|
||
|
|
up. For example, you have a backup policy that includes the library MYLIB.
|
||
|
|
In the policy properties, you have MYLIB scheduled to be backed up every Thursday.
|
||
|
|
If you schedule the policy to run on Thursday, MYLIB will be backed up. If
|
||
|
|
you schedule the same policy on any other day, MYLIB will not be backed up.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Also,
|
||
|
|
be aware that some operations (such as a full system backup) require that
|
||
|
|
your system be in a restricted state when they run. In BRMS, the interactive
|
||
|
|
console monitor allows you to submit a backup job, either scheduled or directly,
|
||
|
|
to the interactive session running on the system console. A system operator
|
||
|
|
can use the interactive system console session to monitor the progress of
|
||
|
|
the backup and respond to tape mount messages. When you schedule a backup
|
||
|
|
using the interactive console monitor, you will see the instructions for how
|
||
|
|
to start the console monitor.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>If you choose not to use the interactive
|
||
|
|
console monitor and no one will be present to process commands as the backup
|
||
|
|
runs, then you must ensure that your backup can run without intervention.
|
||
|
|
A restricted state backup not using the interactive console monitor can also
|
||
|
|
be scheduled as long as the backup can run unattended.</p>
|
||
|
|
<div class="note"><span class="notetitle">Note:</span> In addition
|
||
|
|
to scheduling backup policies you can also schedule to restore items, reclaim
|
||
|
|
media, and to move media.</div>
