This collection of associated fields specifies the type
of backup that you want to take, and the available options for that type of
backup. Specify the type of backup image to take in the Media
Type box, and the associated fields will change. The choices are
as follows:
- Specify directories or Tapes (for NT and UNIX--based systems; Specify
directories for OS/2 system)
- Specifies to write the backup image to either a directory or to
tape. Specify the correct path or paths for the backup image in the
Specify directories box.
You can select more than one path and back up the database or database partition to more than one
location. In this situation, the resulting backup image will be listed
in multiple locations, and all the images will have the same time
stamp.
To see the list of available directories and tape devices, click
on Browse.
| Note: |
 In a partitioned database environment, you can only back up the
database partition to directories that are on the node.
