Query about V8.0

[eclubbs]

Hi,
Excuse this rather stupid question, but is it possible to set a back-up to write to a folder on the hard drive in v8.0? I've fiddled around but it doesn't seem possible to point to anywhere other than the tape drives. Am I missing something very obvious?

Cheers

You may have this figured out by now or don't care any more but yes, you have to go into the devices tab and create a backup to disk folder. That will appear to Veritas as a backup device and is selectable when setting up the backup.

The same thing applies to later Veritas versions.

No can't do it in 8.0 - first version to have backup to disk was 8.6

I'm amazed that it took them eight and a half versions before they thought that maybe people might want to back-up onto a hard disk!

Cheers for your replies, bfralia and justin. At least I know it's not just my ineptitude that's the problem.
