Limitation: If a user changes credentials on a particular server while performing an on-demand backup, the original profile for that server becomes invalid and will therefore need to be recreated. Failure to recreate the profile in this case will cause operation failure.
Select Create Profile to enter the Manage Profiles menu. To create or manage a profile, the iSeries system you wish to backup must already be configured on your network and accessible via DNS or be entered into the system’s hosts file.
When entering the Manage Profiles menu, input the name of the iSeries client being backed up. A prompt for a user name and password is displayed. The system tests the connection to the iSeries system before continuing.
Once the connection is verified, you are asked if you would like to sync the backup to a Data Protection Vault. If replicating your iSeries backups, answer yes, otherwise, no.
You will be offered two options for backup, a Saturday master, daily incremental or a daily selective. Select the backup you wish to use in the profile you are creating.
After selecting your backup type, you will need to provide a list of the objects to exclude (master/incremental/selective) from or include (selective) in your backup. Specify the complete pathname for each object and enter only one object per line. Note that object names are case sensitive and should be entered exactly as they appear on the iSeries.
When you have completed your exclude or include list, type q to proceed.
After entering your exclude or include list, you will be given the option to use the profile you are creating as the default iSeries profile for On-Demand backups from the Administrator Interface.
