CONFIGURATION GUIDE
8.6.3 Notes for double backup
In a single backup configuration, in case a CPU/IO module or backup device fails, backup is not possible
until the failed part is repaired or replaced. If this does not meet your system requirements, consider a
double backup configuration.
Refer to the following notes on double backup configuration.

When configuring two sets of a SAS controller, a SAS cable and a backup device, two backup devices
are recognized separately by the OS. When scheduling an automatic backup job, make a job for each
backup device so that the other backup device can backup in case one device fails.

With BrightStor ARCserve Backup, backup is not executed if you enter an asterisk (*) in the group box
under the destination tab when defining a job. Be sure to create two backup jobs by correctly selecting
the device group for the group box, and entering an asterisk (*) or the name of the media in the media
box.
