Target groups are locations used for storing backup data. DSA administrators create target groups, and assign media servers and devices. Target groups are then accessible to BAR backup jobs.
You need at least two target groups: one for the repository backup (DSA configuration and metadata) and one or more for data backups.
After a backup job has run to completion, you can create a BAR restore job to restore data using the same target group as the backup job. You can also create a target group map, which allows a BAR restore job to restore data from a different target group.
Virtual Target Groups
The BAR Setup portlet does not manage virtual target groups, which are target groups imported from a different DSC. If you need to manage a virtual target group, use the command line.
