Overview
The pre-backup validations step will perform two types of checks:
...
| Warning |
|---|
It is not mandatory, but highly recommended to have the target gateway up and running at this stage, so DPOD can check if the hardware, firmware and features are compatible between the source and target gateways. If the target gateway is not available at this stage - DPOD will run those checks later on, just before the Secure-Restore. |
Validations
...
- Application edition - checks that DPOD is not running on Docker or Developer Edition
- Secure Backup mount point - the path where DPOD will download the backup to (and upload the backup from) is determined in the System Parameters page (the "Backups - Destination Path" parameter), this path should be a dedicated mounted filesystem.
- Source is in Secure Backup mode - checks whether the source gateway's Backup Mode is "Secure backup", if the gateway is in "Normal" mode - no Secure Backups or Secure Restores can be issued against it.
