8.1. A Practical Example Using the Wizard Hard Disk Drive The local hard disk drive is used to prepare backups for all media except NFS and direct to tape. You should not perform backups on your local hard disk anyway, you should always backup on remote or removable media. You can set the directory for storage and the limit of storage space. You can also set how many days to keep incremental or differential backups in order to save disk space. Across the Network To store the backup on a remote computer accessible using different methods. You can set the connection parameters as well as the access method and its options (if applicable). Please note that NFS backups are considered to be local disk backups, even if they are effectively stored on a remote system. On Tape You can set the tape device if it’s not detected automatically, and tape parameters such as writing directly on tape, whether or not to rewind, erase and eject the tape. Optical Media (CD-R) This is our preferred media for the example, so click on its Configure button to set the required parameters (see Figure 19.19, Setting Optical Media Parameters [295]).
