Run DPX Backup
To define, save, and run a backup:
Launch the management console from the master server.
Open the Block Backup Wizard by selecting the Backup tab at the top of the window then selecting Block from the task pane.
In the task panel, under Job Tasks, click Block Backup Wizard.
On the Select Source window, expand the display to the node level. Then select a node to back up, by clicking on it. Be sure to choose a client node, not a storage node or open storage server. To save time for this test, it is recommended that you select a node with very little data on it.
On the Select Destination window, expand the node group containing the storage node to the volume level. Then select a volume as your backup destination.
On the Save window, enter a job name and select Save Job.
Click Finish to close the Block Backup Wizard.
In the task panel, select Run Backup Job. Select the job and click OK. The backup job starts.
Select the Monitor tab to display the progress of the job. When the job has finished, the Job Monitor window says job_name Completed at the upper left.
