Device to be used

Select which tape drive or other removable media device Data Protector Express will use for the restore or
verify job.
By default, Data Protector Express sets this setting to the network container. When running the job, Data
Protector Express will use whatever device it finds on the network. If there is only one device in your
Data Protector Express management domain or if you only have permissions to one device, there is no
reason to change this setting.
However, if there are several devices on your network and you need to select a specific device, specify
which device the job should use by selecting it from the list of devices. If a machine has only one device,
you can just select the machine and not the device.
To use a device that is not shown in the list of devices, click the Add button and select the new device
from the Browse dialog box.

Types of devices to use

You can select the types of devices you want Data Protector Express to use during a job.
For example, you can enable or disable tape devices, virtual libraries, or CD/DVD devices. By default, CD
and DVD devices are disabled.

Media to be used

Data Protector Express will select the appropriate media for the job according to the files you have
selected to restore or verify. This information is maintained in the catalog.

The following section describes each option setting and some of the possible ways each might be used.
Restore Job Options
There are fewer and simpler options for restore jobs. In general, these options are similar to options
for backup jobs.
