Creating a clone CD image

Create a clone CD image to capture the Backup Exec installation program and your installation settings. After you create the CD image, copy it to a CD.

To create a clone CD image

  1. Begin installing Backup Exec.

    See Installing Backup Exec to a local computer.

    You must use the Backup Exec installation CD or a copy of the CD when creating the clone CD image for the first time. A downloaded version of Backup Exec does not have the same directory layout as the installation CD, and, therefore, cannot be used to create a clone CD image.

  2. When the list of features being installed appears, select Create Clone CD.

  3. Click Next and continue with the installation procedures.

  4. When the Create Clone CD Image dialog box appears, ensure the directory listed is the directory where you want the clone CD image file copied. If the location is not correct, click Change and browse to select the correct location. The directory to which the clone CD image file will be copied should be an empty directory.

  5. Click Next and continue with the installation procedures.

    If the Backup Exec installation CD is not in your CD drive, Backup Exec will prompt you to specify the path where the CD image is located. If you have not yet created a clone CD image, you must insert the Backup Exec installation CD or be able to access this installation CD from the network.
