Configuration
The Configuration page contains the settings that control when the job will run and how media will be managed. The page is divided into a number of sections, some of which are only visible based on the scheduling choice.
•“Schedule Settings”
•“Mode Settings”
•“Scheduled Dates” (only visible when Schedule Type is Run on selected days)
•“Interval Settings” (only visible when Scheduled Type is Run repeatedly)
•“Media to be used”
•“Auto format mode”
Schedule Settings
The Schedule Settings box contains several settings that control when jobs are run and how the jobs use media.
Schedule Type
This setting is the first step in choosing when the job will run. Once scheduled, the Data Protector Express service will ensure the job is started. If one or more job runs are missed because the service is not running at the scheduled time, the service will determine the backup mode with the largest interval setting (Daily, Weekly, Monthly, Yearly) that was missed and run it.
Not scheduled
The job will be run manually by the user when desired.
Run on selected days
The job will run only on a selected day (or days) at a specified time. When this option is selected an additional setting, Scheduled Dates, will appear.
Run repeatedly
The job will run on a regular interval. Use this setting to set up a job with media rotation. When this option is selected an additional set of options, Interval Settings, will appear. For more information see “Scheduling, Rotations, and Media Management” (page 35).
Start Time
This setting is only visible for jobs that will be run on a schedule. It specifies the time of day that the job should start. For jobs that are scheduled to run more than once, all runs will happen at the same time of day.
Rotation Type and Sets
This setting is only available when the job is scheduled to run repeatedly. The Rotation type and Sets controls allow you to specify a set of preconfigured rotations. The Custom Rotation type is a special case. It unlocks the user interface to allow the user to configure his own rotation. For more information about setting up rotations, see “Scheduling, Rotations, and Media Management” (page 35).
