Working with Data Protector Express wizards

Data Protector Express wizards give you a fast and quick way to perform most tasks. You can use
wizards to create and schedule backup jobs, restore jobs, verify jobs, and media jobs. You can also create
a virtual library, test a library or device, or clean a device from the Wizards view or perform operations
related to disaster recovery. Data Protector Express wizards will guide you through each step necessary to
create and run the job or task you select.
The name of each Data Protector Express wizard option indicates what task that wizard helps you
perform. The descriptions are self-explanatory. The Backup, Restore, and Verify wizards create jobs.
For additional information about creating these jobs without the Data Protector Express wizards or about
the jobs the Data Protector Express wizards created, review the rest of this manual. Media wizards help
you format or erase media, organize media in a library, import the contents of media into the Data
Protector Express catalog, and so on. The Disaster Recovery wizard helps you create a bootable CD or
DVD for use during a disaster recovery operation. The D2D Device wizard helps you create a virtual
library.
