Veritas™ System Recovery 18 Management Solution Administrator's Guide

To create default recovery point destinations

1. On the Veritas System Recovery 18 Management Solution Manage Tasks tab, expand the Destinations area in the left pane.
2. In the left pane, in the Destinations tree, select a destination type.
3. On the toolbar in the middle pane, click Create.
4. Depending on the destination type you selected in the left pane, do one of the following:

   If you selected Local	On the Backup Destinations panel, type a local folder path. The local folder path you specify is relative to the managed client computer. It is not the folder path on the computer where you run Symantec Management Console. You can also use the specified local path as an off-site destination by selecting it from the Off-site drop-down list in a backup policy. USB is not supported as an off-site location.
   If you selected Network Shares	On the Backup Destinations panel, do the following: Type a UNC path to a network share. Make sure double backslash characters (\\) precede the UNC path. Or, type the IP address path to a network share. Make sure double backslash characters (\\) precede the IP address path. In the Network credentials group box, type the domain\user_name (or workgroup\user_name). Type the password for logging on to the network storage location. You can also use the specified network share as an off-site destination by selecting it from the Off-site drop-down list in a backup policy.
   If you selected FTP	On the Backup Destinations panel, type an FTP path that you can use with the Offsite Copy option in a backup policy. You can also use the specified FTP path as an off-site destination by selecting it from the Off-site drop-down list in a backup policy.
   If you selected ESX	On the ESX Server panel, do the following: Type the name of the VMware ESX server or the server's IP address. In the ESX server credentials group box, type a valid administrator user name that has sufficient rights. Type a valid password to the server. In the Upload Locations area, specify the path to the folder where the virtual disk files are written. Use the Add, Remove, and Edit options to configure the upload folder path you want. In the Import Locations area, specify the path to the folder where you want to import virtual disk files. The folder that you select must be different than the upload location folder. Use the Add, Remove, and Edit options to configure the import folder path you want. The virtual disk files are transferred to an ESX server through a Secure Shell (SSH) and secure file transfer protocol (SFTP). You might need to change the settings on the ESX server. For more information, see your ESX server documentation.
   If you selected Linux	In the Backup Destinations panel, type a Linux-based path name to a destination directory. For absolute path names, make sure a single forward slash character (/) precedes the path. You do not need to specify a user name and password for a Linux-based destination
