Data Backup

It is recommended that you regularly back up data stored on your machine. Backup creates a safety copy of your data. If any kind of disaster strikes, you can restore your data from the backup and be sure that you will not lose the necessary information.

Veeam Agent for IBM AIX copies backed-up data at the file level. It retrieves data that you choose to back up and stores it in backup files in the target location. To learn more, see File-Level Backup.

You can set up Veeam Agent for IBM AIX to perform automatic scheduled backups (triggered at specific time of the day), or you can choose to back up data manually when needed. You can back up specific directories and files of your machine.

You can set up Veeam Agent for IBM AIX to create multiple backups — with individual backup scope, upon individual schedule or in different locations.

• Removable storage device.

• Local machine drive.
