Update DR information on selected machine
Check this option to generate DR system information for
the selected machine.
Native data streams format
Different network software transmit data across the network to Data
Protector Express in different formats. In particular, Windows, NetWare, and Linux use different data
stream formats. If you are going to share data from one network platform to another, the data should be
stored on media in a common data format, not in the native data streams format.
Check this option when you do not plan to share data between different network platforms. When this
option is checked, Data Protector Express generally runs backup jobs more quickly.
Clear this option when you plan to share data between different network platforms, such as from a
Windows server to a NetWare server.
CAUTION:
Security is an issue to consider when checking this option. When this option is checked, Data Protector
Express backs up all security information that network software includes in the data stream. If the option is
unchecked, Data Protector Express uses a generic format that removes security information.
Reparse points
Check this option to back up the reparse point data. When this option is deselect,
Data Protector Express will back up the file that the reparse point data indicates.
Mount Points
When checked, Data Protector Express includes the mount point information in the
backup. If this option is not checked, Data Protector Express filters out the mount point information
from the backup job.
Enable snapshots
By default, the backup job creates a temporary snapshot before backing up the
selected file. Deselect this checkbox to disable snapshots.
A snapshot freezes the volume data at a point in time. Any changes after that point in time will not be
backed up until the next backup job. The temporary snapshots are deleted after the job has finished.
Snapshots affect an entire volume, not just the selected files, so jobs logs may indicate more space
was in the snapshot than you expect. If a snapshot cannot be created, the backup will proceed and
the error will be noted in the job log.
Snapshots are currently implements only on Windows platforms. On Windows, the snapshots are created
using Microsoft Volume Shadow Services (VSS) for those operating system editions that support VSS.
Settings for NetWare
Parent Security
When checked, Data Protector Express includes Windows, NetWare, and Linux parent
security information, that is, the access control list and trustee information that controls who can see and
modify the directories. If this option is unchecked, Data Protector Express filters out the parent security
information that it receives from the network during a backup job and that it would transmit across the
network during a restore job.
Child Security
When checked, Data Protector Express includes Windows, NetWare, and Linux child
security information, that is, the access control list and trustee information that controls who can see
and modify the files. If this option is unchecked, Data Protector Express filters out the child security
information that it receives from the network during a backup job and that it would transmit across the
network during a restore job.
Volume Restrictions
NetWare controls the maximum amount of space a user can use on a volume.
When this option is checked, Data Protector Express includes this information about the volume in the
backup media. If this option is unchecked, Data Protector Express filters out the volume restrictions
that it receives from the network during a backup job and that it would transmit across the network
during a restore job.
Space Restrictions
NetWare controls the maximum amount of space a directory can use on a volume.
When this option is checked, Data Protector Express includes this information about the directories in
the backup media. If this option is unchecked, Data Protector Express filters out the space restrictions
that it receives from the network during a backup job and that it would transmit across the network
during a restore job.
