Dell NetWorker 19.9 Administration Guide

Checkpoint restart backup for Windows DISASTER_RECOVERY:\ save set is not supported

The NetWorker software does not support a checkpoint restart backup for the Windows DISASTER_RECOVERY:\ save set. When you enable the Checkpoint restart option for a Client resource that you configure to back up the DISASTER_RECOVERY:\ save set, the backup fails.

Including DISASTER_RECOVERY:\ in multiple save sets

When you use specify multiple save sets with the save command, you must use the -N option to specify the symbolic name of DISASTER_RECOVERY:\ save set, and specify the DISASTER_RECOVERY:\ as the last save set in the save set list.

For example:

save.exe -s server -N "DISASTER_RECOVERY:\\" save_set1 save_set2 ... "DISASTER_RECOVERY:\\"

where:

save_set1 or save_set2 are unique save set names, such as a drive letter (f:\) or mount point (n:\mountpoint).

Monitoring save operations

When you monitor Windows BMR save operations, for example, by using the NetWorker Administration > Monitoring > Sessions window, you might notice that the number of save sessions differ from the number of save sets that appear in the Save set attribute of the Client resource. This is because NetWorker optimizes Windows BMR backups to generate the correct number of Windows BMR backup sessions and save sets.
