4. Activating a backup set causes ZMC to create a crontab entry for the amandabackup user corresponding to the backup set schedule specified in the Backup When page Some complex ZMC schedules will require multiple crontab entries ZMC will create and manage these crontab entries automatically when the backup set is activated using the Activate button All crontab entries added by ZMC have the option argument zmcdev These ZMC created crontab entries are automatically regenerated by ZMC To manually edit and alter these crontab entries first remove the argument zmcdev Since ZMC ignores crontab entries lacking zmcdev ZMC will not replace the manually edited entry and ZMC will show the backup set as inactive You can Activate Deactivate Edit backup sets after selecting multiple backup sets You can also abort the backup run for a backup set using the Abort button Aborting a backup stops the backup job and cleans up all the backup processes on the server Confirm Abort Backup Restore Operation s ap Aborting a backup set will stop all backups and restores for the backup set x and reset it to a clean state Deleting a backup set will not delete the vtape media After deleting this backup set you may manually delete the directory containing the vtape media or manually move the directory for long term archival Are you sure you want to ABORT the backup restore operation s for the backup set s P daily Cancel
