Editing an NDMP Backup Job

Editing an NDMP backup job allows you to change some parameters of an already defined job (Save), or to create a new job based on the definition of an existing one (Save as…). The procedure is similar to creating a backup job from scratch.

Desktop interface

1. In the main desktop interface window, go to the Backup tab, and from the Backup Modes section in the task panel, choose NDMP.

2. Under Job Tasks in the side panel, select Open Backup Job. The Open Job dialog will appear.

Note. The Job Lit includes all NDMP job names, regardless of the folders they are stored in. The Folder field indicates the actual folder where the selected job is stored.

3. Select the job you want to edit from the list. Click OK. The Open Job dialog will close and the settings of the selected job will be loaded to the main window view.

4. Proceed with editing the job. See Creating an NDMP Backup Job for more details.

5. When finished, save the job by doing one of the following:

   • Select File > Save Job

   • Select Save Backup Job in the Job Tasks section of the side panel

   • Press [Ctrl + S]

   The Save Job dialog will appear.

Restrictions. The new job name must be unique throughout the entire DPX, regardless of the folder the job is stored in.

6. Click OK. If you choose the same name, you will be prompted to confirm the replacement of the already existing job. Select Yes to change the job definition, or No to return to the previous step and specify another name for the job.
