Configuring node definitions

Although IBM Storage Protect Snapshot can automatically configure node definitions, you can also manually configure node names for IBM Storage Protect Snapshot. You can also configure the system that runs offloaded backups.

• Proxy node definitions for VSS backups Use the IBM Storage Protect backup-archive client to implement VSS backup operations. You must use two node names for each configured snapshot agent; one for the backup-archive client and the other for the IBM Storage Protect Snapshot agent (for Exchange, SQL or Custom Applications).

• Configuring the system that runs offloaded backups

  Complete the following steps on the computer that is running the offloaded backups. This task is for VSS operations only.
