Monitoring sessions

You can monitor currently running sessions in the Data Protector GUI. When you run
an interactive backup or a restore session, a monitor window shows you the progress
of the session. Closing the GUI does not affect the session.
You can also monitor sessions from any Data Protector client with the User
Interface component installed, using the Monitor context.
On how to monitor a session, see the online Help index: "viewing currently running
sessions".

Performance tuning

Performance tuning means customizing Exchange Server and Data Protector to achieve
better backup and restore results.
Data Protector creates a separate backup object out of selected Exchange items from
a single mailbox or Public Folders. This object is then backed up as a separate data
stream. mbx_bar.exe spends a significant amount of time creating Data Protector
backup objects and logging mailboxes on/off. Meanwhile, the Data Protector devices
are in an idle state, waiting for the actual data transfer to start.
Backup performance can be enhanced by streaming two or more backup objects to
the same device concurrently. While one stream is preparing the backup object and
logging the mailbox on/off, data from the other backup object is being transferred
to the tape, keeping the device busy.
