Before You Install Data Protector Express

Even though Data Protector Express is easy to install, you must first make some important decisions
about how to implement Data Protector Express. Before you install Data Protector Express, you should
consider the following subjects.

Data Protector Express management domain

When you install Data Protector Express, you will define a Data Protector Express management domain.
Each Data Protector Express management domain includes one backup server, a computer that contains
the Data Protector Express catalog. Each Data Protector Express management domain may also include
other computers, including media servers and clients.
On a very small Data Protector Express management domain, all three components (backup server,
media server, and client) can be on the same machine.
Since Data Protector Express is scalable, you can easily upgrade your license whenever you need to
expand the Data Protector Express management domain.
To define the Data Protector Express management domain, identify:
•
The name of the new Data Protector Express management domain (if creating a new Data Protector
Express management domain)
•
The computer that will be the backup server.
•
The media servers that will belong to the Data Protector Express management domain.
•
The clients that will belong to the Data Protector Express management domain.
For more information about creating and managing Data Protector Express management domains, refer to
the User's Guide and Technical Reference.
