Starting the Backup & Restore tool

  1. From the toolchest click on System and roll over to Backup & Restore.

    For each local tape drive installed on your system, the Backup & Restore window displays a button showing the tape drive type and SCSI address. If your system is on a network, the window also displays a button for using a remote drive. If only a Remote button appears in the window, your system does not have a tape drive connected to it.

  2. Insert the proper type of tape in the drive.

  3. In the Backup window, choose the parts of the filesystem you want to back up. Users and Privileged Users can back up only files or directories that they own; the Administrator can back up any file or directory on the system.
