<!--*In v. ≥ [[Special:MyLanguage/SEP_sesam_Release_Versions|5.0.0 ''Jaglion'']], you can automate the process of backing up multiple VMs by automatically generating tasks for VMs that are connected to the same host; you can also automatically create clients for VMs to which the created tasks and ACLs can be assigned. It is recommended to use these features when a new hypervisor is added and many new VMs need to be backed up. For details, see [[Special:MyLanguage/5_0_0:Automating_Backup_Process|Automating Backup Process]].-->}} | |||

The SEP sesam backup is a process in which file system and/or application data from SEP sesam clients are copied and stored to backup media. The backup procedure described below applies to creating filesystem backups. For applications, databases and virtualisation-specific data, the backup procedure might involve additional tasks or include other options. As special methods are used to back up such data, make sure to use the backup procedure specific to the data you want to back up.
Prerequisites
- Each client system that you want to back up requires SEP sesam Client software to be installed. Note that the SEP sesam Server is always also a SEP sesam Client. For details on installation, see SEP sesam Quick Install Guide.
- A client must be added to your backup environment.
- Storage hardware must be configured and media must be prepared.
- You must have admin user rights for performing a backup.
A standard backup procedure involves the following steps:
- Creating a backup task by selecting the data to be backed up
- Creating a backup schedule by specifying when you want to back up your data
- Creating a backup event by selecting where to back up your data to and how

Tip |
| Take a look at some best practices to consider when planning a backup strategy: Backup Strategy Best Practices. |
Step 1: Creating a backup task
Step 2: Creating a schedule
Step 3: Creating a backup event
|
|
Tip |
| To prepare for a possible breakdown of the SEP sesam Server and disaster recovery, you have to perform a self-backup of the SEP sesam by configuring at least one backup task with the name SESAM_BACKUP. For more details, see Preparing for Disaster Recovery. |
