Data protection determines the amount of time until each medium can be reused. Set data protection to permanent so that data on the media is not overwritten unintentionally.

Concurrency

Set to 5 to allow up to five Disk Agents to concurrently write data to the HP StorageWorks DLT 4115w Library. This will increase backup performance.

Media Pool

For the IDB, select the DB_Pool with the appropriate media to be used for the backup. Other objects use default media pools.

Restore options

Use default Data Protector restore options. Set the following options as follows:

List Restored Files

Set to ON to list the pathnames of files and directories that are restored. This option can slow down the restore, if there are too many files to be restored.

Display Statistical Information

Set to ON to display detailed statistical information about a specific restore session, which includes the number of restored files and directories as well as the amount of restored data.

Reporting and Notifications

Email notifications will be set up for backup administrators for mount requests, low database space, device errors, and end of session events for all backup specifications. Optionally, email or broadcast notifications will be set up for those end users interested in being notified about the success of backups of their systems.

To enable all users to easily determine the status of backup, set up client backup information on the company intranet as follows:

1.Configure a report group with a Client Backup Report for each client. The report should be logged to the file in HTML format.

2.Schedule the report group.

3.Link the logged files to the company intranet page.

Vaulting

Vaulting is a process of storing media to a safe location for a specified period of time.

Media will be moved to the vault once a week and replaced by new media in the HP StorageWorks DLT 4115w Library and HP StorageWorks DAT24
