Creating Job Groups; Organizing Jobs With Folders - HP BB118BV - StorageWorks Data Protector Express Package User Manual

36
To move a job, drag it to a new location. You can also use the Delete key and the Delete command to
delete jobs.
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.

Creating job groups

Data Protector Express provides a special job type called a Job Group. Use this job to set up a list of jobs
that you want to run together. 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 retains its rotation type and job mode.

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.
