Performing a manual backup on Windows

Use the NetWorker User program to perform a manual backup Windows. The NetWorker User program provides a graphical interface to perform manual backups.

  1. On a NetWorker client, start the NetWorker User program.
  2. In the Change server window, select or type the name of the NetWorker server.
  3. In the Source and Destination client windows, select the current NetWorker client.
  4. Click Backup.
  5. In the left pane of the Backup window, click the appropriate directory folder.
  6. Select a file or directory file to back up in one of the following methods:

    • Select the directory or file and click Mark. To clear an item, click Unmark.

    • Right-click the directory or file.

      When you mark a directory or file for backup, a check mark appears next to that item.

  7. Click Start.
    The Backup Status window displays the progress of the backup. When the NetWorker server has successfully finished the backup, this message appears:

    Backup completion time: 2-15-07 3:27p

    If the backup fails, then:

    • Review the NetWorker daemon.raw log file on both the NetWorker server and client hosts. Use the nsr_render_log program to review the log file in a readable format. The NetWorker Command Reference Guide describes how to use the nsr_render_log program.

      The location of the daemon.raw file is different on Windows and UNIX:

      • On Windows, the log file appears in the C:\Program Files\EMC NetWorker\nsr\logs directory.
      • On UNIX, the log file appears in the /nsr/logs directory.

    • To determine the cause, refer to the Troubleshooting chapter.

    • Review the operating system log files (Application event log on a Windows client) for more information.
