Bootstrap Generation and Printout

When the backup group contains data from the Backup server, Backup generates a special save set called the bootstrap, which includes the server file index, media database, and configuration files. The bootstrap information is essential for recovery from a disaster. By default, the bootstrap is printed to the Backup server's default printer. To change the default printer, change the Printer attribute in the Groups resource.

A bootstrap printout is created with any scheduled backup of a group that includes the server, or after other scheduled backups if the server is not in an active group. A bootstrap printout is generated whether the scheduled backup is initiated automatically or manually.
