Backup Storage Management

You can perform the following operations on backup storage:

Enable/Disable/Reconnect Backup Storage

You can manage backup storage status, including enabling, disabling, and reconnecting backup storage.

Disabling backup storage might affect backup plan execution. Note the following:
  • If a backup plan specifies only one backup storage, the backup plan fails after the backup storage is disabled.
  • If a backup plan specifies two backup storage resources, after one backup storage resource, the primary one, is disabled, the backup plan automatically switches to the other backup storage resource, the standby one, to perform backups.
Procedure
  1. In the navigation pane, choose Data Protection > Backup Storage.
  2. On the Backup Storage page, select the target backup storage, and then click Actions > Enable/Disable/Reconnect.

Scan Backup Data

You can scan backup data that has not been deleted from backup storage. Deleted backup data cannot be restored by scanning. If you manually add backup data to backup storage and want to use the backup data, you can also scan the backup data on the backup storage.

Procedure
  1. In the navigation pane, choose Data Protection > Backup Storage.
  2. On the Backup Storage page, select the target backup storage, and then click Actions > Scan Backup Data.

Clean Up Backup Storage Data

You can clean up invalid backup data that has been permanently deleted from backup storage to release storage space.

Procedure
  1. In the navigation pane, choose Data Protection > Backup Storage.
  2. On the Backup Storage page, select the target backup storage, and then click Actions > Cleanup Data.

Edit Name and Description

You can modify the name or description of backup storage at any time.

Procedure
  1. In the navigation pane, choose Data Protection > Backup Storage.
  2. On the Backup Storage page, select the target backup storage, and then click Actions > Edit Name and Description.
  3. In the Edit Name and Description dialog, enter the new name or description, and then click OK.

Modify Backup Storage Configuration

You can modify configuration information for added backup storage.

Procedure
  1. In the navigation pane, choose Data Protection > Backup Storage.
  2. On the Backup Storage page, select the target backup storage, and then click Actions > Modify Configuration.
  3. In the Modify Configuration dialog, modify basic information or configuration information as needed.
  4. Review the information and click OK.

Update Backup Storage Password

You can modify the password of added backup storage.

Procedure
  1. In the navigation pane, choose Data Protection > Backup Storage.
  2. On the Backup Storage page, select the target backup storage, and then click Actions > Update Password.
  3. In the Update Password dialog, enter the new password.
  4. Review the information and click OK.

Delete Backup Storage

Deleting backup storage is a high-risk operation. This operation stops all backup plans on the backup storage, and related backup data can no longer be viewed.

Procedure
  1. In the navigation pane, choose Data Protection > Backup Storage.
  2. On the Backup Storage page, select the target backup storage, and then click Actions > Delete.
