Creating Job Folders; Moving, Renaming And Deleting Folders - HP BB118BV - StorageWorks Data Protector Express Package User's Manual & Technical Reference

Creating job folders

Usually, the best strategy for organizing your personal jobs or the jobs of your group is to create a
special folder in which to store them. Managing permissions to these jobs is much easier and quicker if
you create a special folder for them.
When the Data Protector Express administrator adds a user or group, Data Protector Express creates a
personal folder for that user or group. If you have the proper permissions, you can also create as
many additional new job folders as you need and organize them in a convenient way. You can create
additional job folders either inside your personal or group folder or inside the Everyone folder.
To create a new folder
1. From the Jobs and Media view on the Favorites desk bar select the existing folder in which you
want to store the new job folder. (It cannot be the Home folder.)
2.
Create the new folder one of these ways:
• Select New Object from the File menu and then select Folder from the New Object window
• Right-click in either the tree view or object detail area and select Folder from the shortcut menu
• Click the New Object button and select Folder from the New Object window.
Data Protector Express creates the new folder inside the selected folder.
3. Type in the name of the new folder on its property page.
TIP:
After creating a new folder, be certain to specify which users have permissions to it. This is the simplest
and fastest way to assign permissions to multiple objects stored in the folder.

Moving, renaming and deleting folders

You can move, rename or delete a folder just like you can any other Data Protector Express objects,
such as jobs; however, you cannot copy folders. When moving, deleting or renaming folders, keep
the following in mind:

permissions of the objects stored in that folder.
