4.2.2 Selecting a backup source

AdvancedCopy Manager backs up data in units of devices. A device that stores working data is called a transaction volume.

A transaction volume to be backed up must reside on the Fujitsu ETERNUS storage system.

For the supported units, refer to "1.5 Managing a Device on AdvancedCopy Manager".

For information on setting up a transaction volume, see "4.4.7 Setting the operation type for a device".

Note

Do not back up the systems disk or the disk on which AdvancedCopy Manager is installed.
