The first method creates a copy of your server configuration and user data files, and downloads it to your local desktop via your web browser. Currently your configuration and data files total approximately $tarsize. The backup file will be somewhat less than this, depending on how compressible the data are. The \"Verify desktop backup file\" option can be used to check the integrity of a desktop backup file.
The tape backup method uses a software package called $module to back up your entire hard disk to tape every night. This requires a supported tape drive and a tape that is not write-protected. The backup is performed automatically at the selected time every night (with a reminder automatically e-mailed to the administrator during the day). Currently your hard disk contains $dumpsize of data.
Both restore methods allow you to restore your configuration and user data files. Ideally, the restore should be performed on a freshly installed server.
]]>The last file contained in the backup file should be the file named "smbpasswd".
]]>The tape backup requires a supported tape drive. A warning message will be sent to the administrator at the designated reminder time if the tape drive is empty.
]]>Ensure that you have loaded the desired backup tape into the tape drive before proceeding.
After the restore completes you must reboot the server.
