Job Groups
A Job Group is special type of job which is a collection of jobs that will be run together either sequentially
or simultaneously. Running jobs together from a single job group can streamline your data management
procedures. You can include any type of job in a job group. With the exception of scheduling, each job
retains all of its job settings including file selections, backup mode, media or device destination. The
jobs use the schedule setting for the job group.
As you select jobs to include in job group, they appear on the Jobs view. Scheduling options for job
groups are similar to scheduling options for any other job type. You can select a Schedule Type, Start
Time and Start Date. However, you cannot select or modify a Rotation Type or Job Mode. Each job in the
group retains its individual rotation type and job mode.
To create a job group
From the Jobs and Media view, select New and select Job Group in the Available Types list.
1. Enter a name for the job group and click OK.
2. Set up the job group as follows:
a. On the General page enter description information, and check the Enable Audit box if you want
Data Protector Express to keep a log for the job
b. On the Options page, select the jobs to include in the job group
c. On the Schedule page, select the days and times to run the jobs
d. On the Permissions page, select the users and groups that can run this job group
3.
Click Apply or OK to save your changes.
Data Protector Express will run the job group based on the schedule. The job will be stored in your
Home folder.
Renaming, deleting, copying and moving jobs
You can change the names of jobs or move them to new folders. Or, if you do not plan to use a job
again in the future, you can delete it.
You rename, delete, copy and move jobs in one of these ways:
• Select the appropriate command from the Edit menu
• Right-click the job and selecting the appropriate command from the shortcut menu.
