Destination

With "Destination" the target (destination) where the backup data should be written can be set. By using the menu fields "Destination" and "Settings" the kind of target drive and the necessary settings for the target drive can be selected.
SIEGFRIED BACKUP can be dynamically extended with new backup hardware. Add-ons are used to reach this goal. For every kind of a target backup drive an add-on can be created. An add-on is similar to an external library of program code to control the respective target hardware. To add a new backup add-on file to SIEGFRIED BACKUP, simply copy the file in the folder "Backup/Backup_Server/add-on/destination". The following add-on's are available at this time:

Kind | File | Remark
--- | --- | ---
Image | SFImage | Writes the backup data to a file (called backup image)
Streamer | SFStreamer | Writes the backup data to a SCSI streamer

To choose the kind of destination drive use the menu field "Destination". A click on the menu field shows a pop up menu with all existing types of backup targets. For every kind of destination drive individual settings can be selected. For a backup to an image, for example, the folder where the image is to be written must be selected. The SCSI address must be selected for a streamer.
