Use the Initial Backup page to select whether you want to back up all your files when you finish the configuration wizard.
After the first installation of the Tivoli® Storage Manager FastBack for Workstations client, you can immediately back up all files that you configured for protection. In the initial backup, newly created files and existing files that are changed are protected. Existing files that are not changed are backed up after the initial scan is done.
The initial backup scans all of your local drives, looking for files that you selected for protection. All files that meet the specifications are backed up to local or remote storage areas. This process can take a long time and affect the performance of your computer. Start this initial backup when you will not be using your computer for other applications.
If you do not back up data using the installation wizard, you can force a complete backup at a later time. When you run a complete backup, use the Files to Protect page of the Settings Notebook.
