In this article, we will explore how to create Backup to disk job Backup Exec. Run Backup Exec; the backup to disk feature enables you to back up your data to a folder on a hard disk. You can also use it as part of a backup process where you back up data to disk first and then transfer the backup to a tape when more time is available.
On devices that have nonremovable media, create a backup to the disk folder. On computers that have removable media, such as a zip drive, create a removable backup to the disk folder. Backup to disk folders that are created on servers that have non-removable media supports concurrent jobs from one or more media servers.
