Organizing Jobs With Folders; Types Of Folders - HP BB118BV - StorageWorks Data Protector Express Package User's Manual & Technical Reference

To move a job, drag it to a new location. You can also use the Delete key and the Delete command to
delete jobs.
NOTE:
When you run a backup job, Data Protector Express uses its catalog to keep track of the files you have
backed up and the name of the media on which they are stored. Deleting a job does not affect how the
catalog tracks files and media. Data Protector Express continues to track these files and media even after
the job that created them has been deleted. However, the jobs associated with this job will also be deleted.

Organizing jobs with folders

Every backup, restore, verify and media job is stored by Data Protector Express inside a folder. By
default, Data Protector Express stores all jobs in the Home folder of the user who creates the jobs.
However, you can create new folders to help organize your jobs or you can use existing folders.
When the Data Protector Express administrator added you as a user, Data Protector Express created a
personal folder for your use. Generally, because there may be many users in your Data Protector Express
management domain, it is a good idea to store your personal jobs in your personal folder. Alternatively,
you can store group jobs in the appropriate group folder.

Types of folders

Data Protector Express provides many types of folders: User/Group folders, Job folders, Media
folders, and folders for any other type of object you might want to create. Each of these folders is
a container, that is, they store other objects within them. They differ from each other according to
the type of object that can be stored within them.
User/Group folders can only be stored in a special folder, called the Home folder. These folders
can have either Job folders or Media folders within them; additionally, you can store jobs or media
"loose" in these folders.
Job folders can only be stored in User/Group folders or in other Job folders. These folders usually have
jobs stored within them, although you can also store additional job folders within them.
Media folders can only be stored in User/Group folders or in other Media folders. These folders
usually have media stored within them, although you can also store additional Media folders within them.
Data Protector Express organizes other objects and resources that you create in folders designated
for those objects.
For example, if you set up a secondary printer, you will find it in a Printers folder in the Catalog view.
Create a new user or group and Data Protector Express will store them in a Security folder.
