The [Backup] window can be used to back up and restore a physical server.
The target physical server must be running before performing backup and restore.
Backup is managed by the generation. Backups of older generations will be deleted if snapshots that are older than three generations are to be taken.
Contact the system administrator if it is necessary to take backups over 4 or more generations.
Note
If a server is reconfigured after backup, when the server is restored it may revert to the configuration prior to the reconfiguration. It is recommended to make a new backup after reconfiguration.
