4 Backing Up Your Data

This chapter provides instructions on the following topics:
How to use Replica's Configuration Wizard to quickly set up the
automatic backup of server volumes on a regular schedule.
How to perform an immediate, "off-schedule" backup of the server
volumes you designated for automatic backup with the Wizard.
Where to find information on creating the disaster recovery disks
necessary for using the disaster recovery feature.

Using Replica Shortcuts

Replica's major functions are available as desktop shortcuts. Using these "one-
button" shortcuts, you can quickly configure an automatic backup or restore lost
files without having to navigate complex arrays of menus and windows. (You
also have the option of opening the Replica application through the Program
Manager.)
A Configuration Wizard shortcut starts a Wizard that walks you
through a complete configuration in just a few minutes.
An immediate backup shortcut starts Replica and performs a backup of
the volumes you designated for backup with the configuration Wizard.
(When you click this shortcut, no confirmation screen appears, and the
backup starts immediately.)
A restore files shortcut starts the Replica application and displays the
Mount window where you prepare for file restoration by mounting the
backup tape as a server volume.
