===Tasks by clients===

Under ''Tasks'' you find three different types of backup tasks: Backup, Restore and Migration. To make administration easier three views are possible: View of the client, View of the Groups, and a view of the Backup Plan.

[[Image:TaskByClient_36en.jpg|center]]
<!-- TODO-BILD: Je ein Bild für die möglichen Stati eines Sicherungslaufs, also Ikone mit grüner, (hellgrüner?) roter Ecke, Zusätzlich passende Beschreibung -->

The status of a backup task is shown as a colored, rectangular Icon in the right, lower corner:

# Icon without additional rectangle: The backup has not started, or the last Backup Log has been erased from the tape.
# Icon with a green rectangle: Last backup task status 'successful without warnings' or 'successful with warnings'.
# Icon with red rectangle: Last backup task 'unsuccessful/failed'.
# Icon with purple rectangle: Backup task stopped.


The selection '''Properties''' shows the information for the chosen Task and allows changes therein.
Alternatively you can double-click the backup task to open it.


[[Image:TaskRightMouseMenu_36en.jpg|center]]


;Right mouse menu: Clicking a backup Task in the tree with the right mouse shows a 'Context Menu' with the following optons:
*Results (only for Backup Tasks) Show the last backup for this Task, see [[Backups by State 3.6#Properties of a finished backup|Properties of a finished backup]]),
*Immediate Start, see [[Activities 3.6#Immediate_Start|here]]
*Properties, Shows the properties of the related Backup Task,
*Copy (only with Backup Task), <!-- TODO-BILD: Bild für 'Kopiere Sicherungsauftrag mit neuer Auftrag, Auftragsgruppen, Sicherungstermine fehlt. Beschreibung ebenso -->

<!-- TODO-INHALT NetWare users can also enter multiple sources, but usually when browsing only one source is entered. -->

;Exclude List	: excludes certain files from the backup
;Comment	: additional information

<!-- TODO-TEXT Die folgenden Punkte sollte man vielleicht auch in die deutsche Version übernehmen. -->

;OK		: Saves the changed task parameters in the database and returns to the start screen
;Apply		: Saves the changed task parameters in the database. The entry mask can be used for further changes

'''Unix:'''
;over File system Limits: When this option is not selected only the data of a File System will be backed up. 

 Example: By selecting '''/''' as a backup source '''/usr''' will not be backed up, if '''/usr''' is on its own partition.  
 Currently, this setting is only applicable to UNIX clients.

;if over NFS mounted files: even if the Option '''over File system Limits''' is selected, NFS Mounts will not be backed up. If a backup is desired you must set this option.


'''Windows:'''

;with Sesam Bare Metal Recover (SBMR). sometimes referred to as Bare System Recovery: setting this option field provides three further choices for SEP with SBMR. Further information regarding the configuration of SEP sesam disaster recovery can be found in [[SEP sesam BSR 2.1]]. 

The selections in the upper right of the window next to the Input Fields '''Source''' and '''[[#Exclude List|Exclude List]]'''  open the [[#Client Browser|Client Browser]], so that the desired Files and Directories can be combined with a mouse click.

;Apply New: 'Apply New' allows the user to select further Tasks, in regard, however, to currently selected jobs.


The tab "'Options 1"' enables to select from pre-defined Pre/Post-Options for Backups and Restores.

For a backup/restore a selection can be made in "'Change Profile"' from pre-defined profiles and if necessary
a modification can be made by clicking the checkbox.

<!-- TODO-TEXT Ins Englische übersetzen und englische Screenshots einfügen. -->

=====Options 1=====

[[Image:Neuesicherung02_en.jpg|center]]


Register '''Option 1''' allows the choice of performing a pre-defined Pre/Post Operation for backup and restore. Using this 
Register 'Pre/Post' actions for backup and/or recovery/restore globally can be set on or off. There are four possible choices.

'''Backup:'''

:;run Pre                   : Commands written in the Pre- interface will be initiated
:;Backup if Pre- start command fails : Forces the a backup job to start in the event the Pre- commands were not executed properly.
:;run Post                  : Commands written the Post- interface will be performed
:;start Post even if Post commands fail: Forces the Post- command to complete even if there were errors in the backup job, (e.g. this will restore a paused database even though the backup task failed).

'''Restore:'''

:;execute Pre                    : Commands written in the Pre- interface will be initiated
:;Backup if Pre- start command fails : Forces a restore task to complete even though the Pre- command script was not properly executed.
:;execute Post                   : Commands written the Post- interface will be performed
:;start Post even if Post commands fail: Forces the completion of a restore task even though the Post- command script failed to completely execute, (e.g. this will restore a paused database even though the backup task failed)

;additional Call Arguments (Expert Options) :
:;Backup Options                : Dependent on selected backup type and O/S platorm 
 Example: -v1 to set the verbose level in Protocol log
:;Restore Options         : same as backup options, but only in the event of a 'Restore'

=====Options 2=====


[[Image:Neuesicherung03_en.jpg|center]]


'''Option 2''' allows the selection of Encryption and Compression.

;Cryptogrophy:
:;Engoding     : ''none'', ''bf64'' or ''aes256''
:;Info                : Information regarding the setting/selection of a encryption key
:;Set new Key Word : This button is activated when either (bf64 or aes256) has been selected. A mouse click (if permissions are in place) combines the next two input fields
:;New Keyword : Enter new keyword
:;Re-enter new keyword: enter the new keyword manually, do not cut and paste!!

{{Box Attention|Important|
The password/keyword must be at least one (1) character and maximum 27 characters in length. It cannot have any special characters or spaces.}}


;Compression (only available for Windows):
:;Compression       :  ''yes'' or ''no''

=====Novell SMS=====
This tab is only shown on linux clients which can work as a datamover for Novell OES clients. Since Sesam version 3.6 it is possible to grant every task a different logon to the eDirectory.

=====Exclude list=====

With the exclude list certain directories and files can be excluded from a backup. The selection is made with
'''regular expressions''' except for NetWare File System where file pattern '*' and '?' are used.

<!-- TODO-TEXT Achtung-Box ins Englische übersetzen. -->

{{Box Attention|Important|
*In Windows und Unix ''regular Expressions'' are used, in NetWare ''File Patterns'' are used. If you wish to suppress a specific Directory you should enter the complete path name. 
*Multiple Excludes are delimited with commas. 
Examples may be found in the attachment..}}

<!-- TODO-TEXT Ins Englische übersetzen. -->

=====Backup Types=====

Sesam differentiates between path backups and special backup types.

For path backups you can use the following entries:
   
*Backup of the Windows ''System_State'' is accomplished with the entry '''system_state''' as the only source of a path backup.
*Backup of the Linux Partition Schema is accomplished with the entry '''disk_info''' as the only Source for the path backup. 
*Windows SBMR/BSR backups  also take place by selecting a path backup with corresponding activation of '''Backup -> SBMR/Bare Systems Recovery'''

Many special backup types, for example, Online Backups for databases, are supported by sesam. Many of the backup jobs will be initiated from within the database. In this case, the jobs cannot be started from the SEPuler. These backups require 'Command Event [[Schedules 3.6#New_Command_Event|Command_Event]].

For all online backups for supported databases required the relevant online module license. The support of new special backup types is constantly under development and is continually extended to include new products. A complete description of supported applications and the requirements for them can be found in the Product Documentation.

====Client Browser====

[[Image:Clientbrowser_en.jpg|center]]


The Client Browser is an O/S independent File Search Engine. In the Client tree structure you will see not only Files and Directories, but also Databases, Pipes, Sockets, Character or Block Devices as long as they are relevant to the backup environment. 
The added functionality is accessed with a right mouse click. Additionally, the overview for the resulting character string helps prevent the overflow of Lists or Exclude Lists.

{| WIDTH="95%" style="background-color: #FFF0F0; border: solid 2px #DEB0B0;" 
| style="background-color: #DEB0B0;" | <font size="-1"><b>Note</b></font> 
|- 
| 
The entire character string for the selected Path, starting with SEP sesam Version 3.4 cannot exceed 1,000 characters. If this limit is exceeded you must switch to a manually edited backup list. Information regarding the creation of such a Text File as backup source can be found in the SEP sesam FAQ. 
|}

;Menu                  : Appears when the right mouse button is pressed.
;Expand       : The Tree for this location is dynamically expanded and opened.
;Show Legend   : Shows the abbreviation list in the lower window.
;Restore Previous List : Deletes the complete input string.
;Accept         : Enters the chosen selection (Folder, Files) to the selected Source.

'''Legend'''

|
When browsing a NetWare '''NSS''' in the current File system you may only select one source per task. Using a Linux path <tt>/media/nss/Full..</tt> it may appear that you can enter multiple selections but, in fact, only the initial path will be backed up.
|}

=====Delete Task=====

You select this tree to delete a Task. Click the right mouse button and select 'delete'. Answer the following security question with 'Yes'.

====New Restore Task====

To create a new restore task see  [[The Restore 3.6|Restore]].
If you select the Restore from this location certain parameters will be pre-set. A Task Name will also be automatically assigned.

=== New Migration Task ===
A migration is the process of copying already backed up data from one media pool (e.g. disk) to a different media pool (e.g. tape). The previously backed up files are organized in the form of savesets. These are copied identically from the source media pool to the target media pool. This way a duplication of savesets is possible. Typically these are realized in the sequence Disk-To-Disk-To-Tape (D2D2T).

As long as both media are available after the migration (in the source- or target- media pool) the saveset is duplicated. After the saveset is deleted from the source-media pool it is considered migrated. Optionally, both datasets can be accessed with the restore wizard. If only the migrated saveset exists it will be required in case of a restore. 

From SEP sesam Version 3.6 the migration tasks are managed in a seperate menu item. In order to make Sesam more flexible regarding various requirements the tradition of the Sesam-Principle of only defining the source for tasks is broken with. Now source and target are to be defined in the new migration dialog. This makes enables you to immediately start a configured migration task from the GUI or attach it to a [[Schedules 3.6#Migration_Event|Migration Event]] over a schedule to start it automatically at a certein point in time.


Additionally a number of filter options were added(by task, task group or backup client, only to name a few). It is now also possible to migrate backups from a particular medium to a different pool.


[[Image:MigrationTask_36en.jpg|center]]



Here is a Descrition of all the fields and the functions assigned to them:

;Name: a name for the migration task like for example 'EasyDisk1-to-Xtra_FDI' (max. 50 characters) 
;Parameters
* '''Media pool'''<br> Specification of the source media pool
** '''Pool'''<br> Media pool name (e.g. 'EasyDisk1') from which the backups are to be copied (migrated). (Mandatory field)
** '''starting on medium'''<br> Standard = "<tt>*</tt>" for all media. With this the savesets of a particular medium of the media pool can be migrated. Depending on media size a backup can range over several media. Here only backups that begin on this medium are migrated!
** '''Drive'''<br> Drive number of the drive that is used to read the data (Mandatory field)
** '''Saveset'''<br> Standard = "<tt>*</tt>" for all savesets. With this it is possible to only migrate a particular backup.The selection is made according to the saveset-ID.
* '''Target'''<br> Specification of the target 
** '''Pool'''<br> Media pool name (e.g. 'Xtra') to which the backups are to be copied (migrated). (Mandatory field)
** '''Drive'''<br> Drive number of the drive that is used for writing the data. (Mandatory field)
** '''Interface'''<br> optional specification of the network interface through which the data transfer is executed. 
* '''Date'''<br> Here the timeframe of the backups that are to be migrated is defined.
** '''Sesam day'''<br> allows for the the definition of an absolute timeframe for the selection of the backups that are to be migrated. The entered date always referrs to the Sesam day.
** '''relative Backup day'''<br> from/to as a relative specification of the number of passed days. As an example, the relative timeframe from -6 to 0 copies all datasets from the last 6 Sesam days including the current Sesam day.
;Filter: Using the filter options the number of backups to migrate can be limited. 
* '''Backup status'''<br> This allows to choose to only migrate certain backups with certain statuses (successful, with warnings or partially restorable). Default is migrating all successful backups and backups with warnings.
* '''Backup type'''<br> Choice according to CFDI-Type (Copy, Full, Diff Inc): C, F, D, I and G. The CFDI-Type 'G' means generation-migration. This means that, in addition to the incremental backups of the past days, all connected backups from the past up until and including the last associated full backup are included in the migration. Among other thing, this makes sure that all relevant backups for a possible disaster recovery are available on the created media set for removal scenarios. 
* '''Object'''
** '''Task'''<br> Default = "<tt>*</tt>" for all tasks in the defined timeframe. Here, a particular task can be chosen for migration.
** '''Task group'''<br> Default = "<tt>*</tt>" for all taskt in the defined timeframe. If a task group is selected only the tasks within the defined timeframe of this task group are migrated.
** '''Client'''<br> Default = "<tt>*</tt>" for all backup clients in the defined timeframe.If a backup client is chosen only the backups from this client are migrated.
* '''Number of copies'''<br> Default = 0 (Zero) means that backups can be migrated as often as you want. Entering a number > 0 means that a backup can only be migrated that many times.
;Notes: text field with max. 255 characters for additional input.


'''Buttons'''

:;Start: After activating immediate start of the migration task
:;create copy and save: If the migration task was  given a different name in the field '''Name''' all changed options can be saved under a new name
:;Save: Saves the current changes
:;Delete: Migration task is deleted
:;Cancel: Editing of the migration task is closed, the changes are discarded
