NAS Backup Assistant

The NAS Backup Assistant is a preloaded utility that helps you create and schedule
backup batch files, and maintain log files. It can be used for backing up either the
NAS 200 operating system or user data.
You invoke the NAS Backup Assistant by clicking on the IBM NAS Admin desktop
icon to open the IBM NAS Administration console. Select Backup and Restore to
expand that tree, then select IBM NAS Backup Assistant. Once you have selected
this option, a logon prompt appears. You will need to log on as a user who has
backup operator privilege (that is, as an administrator or backup administrator).
Because NAS Backup Assistant only creates and launches scripts, and is not a
comprehensive backup application, it does not support interactive error messages.
To check status of jobs, you must either view the Backup Logs or view the Windows
Event Viewer. If a logon prompt does not appear, right-click on the IBM NAS
Backup Assistant link, and select refresh. Once you log on, the main panel
appears.
There are four tabs on the main panel:
Backup Operations
Scheduled Jobs
Backup Logs
Displayed Logs
All of the options on each tab are described in detail in the online help. To access
the online help, click on the IBM NAS Admin icon, then expand the Backup and
Restore directory, then select IBM NAS Backup Assistant Help and log in.
