Scheduling Backup Collection for Backup Managers

You can configure the management server to obtain information about your master backup servers at a set interval. You can obtain image details, session details, or media details.

Keep in mind the following:

•Make sure these collectors run at least daily, so the latest backup information is displayed in Backup Manager.

•All collectors are stopped during Discovery Data Collection. This means that during Discovery Data Collection, data such as for Backup Manager is not updated.

•The process of Discovery Data Collection takes time. It is recommended you perform this procedure when the network is not busy.

•It is not possible to run data collectors on quarantined elements. Attempting to do so will result in exceptions in the appstorm.<timestamp>.log file.
