Dedicated Backup Subsystem

A dedicated backup subsystem is one in which you configure the CIC server to back up CIC. You must have Windows installed locally on the CIC server. Windows has a built-in backup program called Windows Server Backup that allows you to back up and restore systems, files, folders, and application data. Windows Server Backup supports storing backup data to disk drives and SAN disks locally attached to the CIC server, and folders on the CIC server's local volumes or remote shares. Windows Server Backup does not support tape devices. For more information on Windows Server Backup, see the vendor's product documentation.

A dedicated backup subsystem offers the highest level of security to guard against system disaster. You can use it with either or both of the other options discussed in this document.
