Using the Navigator to Set Up Backup Classes and Sets
Use Robot Save’s Navigator to set up a new backup class and its backup sets, or modify existing classes and sets, quickly and easily. After you’ve used Robot GUIDE Automatic Setup to set up your daily back- ups, you’ll probably want to define additional backup classes and sets to perform other types of saves on your system. By using the Navigator, you can navigate to the panels that are essential for setting up a backup class and set.
-
On the Robot Save Main Menu, select option 5, Automated Backup Setup Menu.
-
On the Automated Backup Setup Menu, select option 1, Maintain Backup Classes and Sets.
-
On the Backup Class Maintenance panel, press F6 to define a new backup class. Complete the Backup Class Entry panel with the information for the new backup class you are adding.
-
Press F10 to start the Navigator and continue to the next panel in the sequence.
-
The Backup Set Definition Maintenance panel displays. Press F6 to add a backup set to the backup class.
Note: If backup sets already are defined to the backup class, enter a 1 next to the backup set to modify the set definition.
-
Complete the Backup Set Information panel with the information for the backup set. (For a complete discussion of the fields on this panel, press F1.)
-
When you are done entering the information, press F10 to save your changes and proceed to the next panel in the sequence.
-
Use the Extended Backup Set Information panel to enter any additional information for the backup set. Press F10 to continue to the next panel.
-
When the Items to be Saved Within a Backup Set panel displays, press F6 to display the Item Type Selection panel.
-
Enter a 1 to select the type (or types) of items the backup set will save. If you select Libraries, the Library Name Selection panel displays so you can select the libraries to include in the backup set. Press Enter to return to the Items to be Saved Within a Backup Set panel.
Note: If the backup class is defined to back up an object list, the Object List Saved Within a Backup Set displays.
-
The libraries you selected display on the Items to be Saved Within a Backup Set panel. For each library, you can specify the save code to be used for the save. Press F4 in the Save Code column to select from a list of save codes.

Press F10 to continue to the next panel in the sequence.
-
To encrypt a library or objects in the library, enter option 2 next to the library name to display the Modify Encrypted Objects in a Library Save Information panel.

Press F6 to add individual objects or specify the entire library for encryption. The Items to be Saved Within a Backup Set panel displays a Y in the Encrypt column for a library specified for encryption.
Notes:
-
Encryption must be enabled at System Setup.
-
Data encryption requires additional backup time and disk space. See the Encryption Appendix in the Robot Save User Guide for more information on the impact of encryption on your system.

Press F6 to add one or more subsystems to be terminated.
