Dell NetWorker 19.9 Administration Guide

Configuring a scheduled DFS backup

1. In the Administration screen, include the following clients in the NetWorker group that will back up the DFS:

   • The DFS host server

   • Any computer where remote DFS destination directories reside

   • A domain controller (domain-based DFS only)

     For example, you could create a NetWorker group named DFS, then make each of the preceding clients a member of the DFS group.

2. Enter the following save sets in the Save Set attribute of the DFS host server’s client resource:

   • The DFS root. For example, C:\MyDfsRoot.

   • DFS destination directories that reside on the DFS host. For example, D:\MyLocalDir

     NOTE:DFS destination directories are also be backed up if you enter the entire volume (for example, D:\) in the Save Set attribute.
3. For clients where remote DFS destination directories reside, enter the destination directory paths in the Save Set attribute. For example:

   E:\MyRemoteDir
   E:\MyOtherRemoteDir
   E:\
