Resource Order Backup options

After you make selections for a backup job, you can set up Backup Exec to process those selections in a certain order.

Please note the following about the order in which selections can be backed up:

  • You can order resources within a server, but you cannot alternate selections across servers. For example, you can select C: and D: from Server A followed by selections from Server B. However, you cannot order selections as C: from Server A and then C: from Server B and then D: from both servers.

  • For any given server, system state must be ordered last.
