Renaming a profile

You can specify the R (Rename) line command to change the name, creator, or description of a backup profile.

About this task

You can rename profiles that you created, regardless of the value assigned to the Update option field on the Enter New Backup Profile Options panel. You can also rename a profile created by another user if the Update option field on the Enter New Backup Profile Options panel was set to U (Update) when the profile was created.

Procedure

  1. Access the System Backup Profile Display panel.
  2. Specify R on the Cmd line next to the profile you want to rename, and press Enter.
