Step 5: Tasks - Select what you want to back up

Information sign.png Note
In order to improve usability, SEP sesam GUI has been redesigned to be more user-friendly without significantly changing the interface logic. SEP sesam documentation update (such as screenshots) to reflect these changes is being done in a phased manner, therefore the screenshots may still show the GUI from previous versions.

In the Main Selection -> Tasks -> By clients, select the location of your client and then the client which you want to back up. Right-click it and select New backup task.

In the New backup task window enter the parameters for your backup task.

  • Enter the Task name. Give your task a meaningful descriptive name that clearly identifies it.
  • From the Task type drop-down list, select the appropriate type, default is Path.
  • Specify the Source. If you want to back up individual files, you can either browse for directories and files that you want to include in the backup or enter their names followed by a comma (C:/Program Files/SEPsesam/var/db,C:\Users\AA\Documents\references). If you want to backup the whole file system, set the source as all. Note that if you select the source by browsing, the task type and task name are set automatically. If you enter the source manually, you have to enter the task name and select relevant task type.
  • Optionally, you can specify the filenames or patterns which should not be backed up in the Exclude list. For details on different exclude options, see Creating Exclude List. If you want to add a comment, enter it in the Comment field.
  • If you want to define additional options, such as the pre/post backup and restore commands, set encryption or compress data, add a task to the task group, or assign a task to the schedule, click the corresponding tabs in the New backup task window.

Click OK to create the task. If you want to start the newly created task immediately, right-click the name of the task and click Immediate start. If you want to schedule the task, click New schedule in the Main Selection -> Scheduling -> Schedules.

As of SEP sesam v. 4.4.3 Beefalo, you can deactivate a backup task to be executed, even if it is assigned to a schedule, by selecting the checkbox Execution off.
