[Networker] Confused about Save Set
2011-08-12 08:58:54
A save set is a logical entity defined by the user (manual backups) or by the
admin (in the 'client configuration', aka as 'client resource').
The manual save stream is pretty clear: if you want to backup your D:\test
directory, just start the command "save -s nw_server D:\test".
Consequently, the smallest entity is a single file, the largest entity is a
file system.
Please be aware that there are specific names for database save sets and
whatever is seen as a database (i.e. VSS specific information).
The save set configuration is not clear as the default value in the save set
list is "All". "All" is an alias. The result will be one save set for each HDD
partition (again, the largest entity) on your local disks.
There is also the term 'save stream' which you may also see sometimes. There is
not a big difference:
- the save stream is created during the backup. It refers to the processed
data (a "save set's data 'in motion'").
- It will finally result in a save set(s).
At least 1 new save stream will be needed to create 1 save set.
Clear as mud?
