Security And Scheduled Jobs; Scheduling Commands - HP BB118BV - StorageWorks Data Protector Express Package User's Manual & Technical Reference

TIP:
You can install Data Protector Express as a service on machines running Windows and Linux. On
NetWare systems you can install the Data Protector Express agent. When installed as a service or agent,
Data Protector Express will start automatically each time the system starts up and run in the background
without any user interface. If you want to make sure that scheduled jobs always run, install Data Protector
Express as a service.

NOTE:
If the storage management server is turned off when a job is scheduled, the job will run when that
machine is started again. Jobs scheduled to run will begin running five minutes after you start Data
Protector Express. (If Data Protector Express is run as a service, this will be five minutes after startup.) This
five-minute lag allows you to modify, update or cancel any pending jobs before they run.

Security and scheduled jobs

Scheduled jobs will run whether you log out or not, as long as Data Protector Express is open or the Data
Protector Express service is running. If you have not logged out, however, unauthorized users will be
able to work with your security clearance. For this reason, be certain to log out or exit Data Protector
Express before leaving your PC desktop. This is the only way to ensure that no unauthorized users
gain access to sensitive data.
CAUTION:
Do not leave the main Data Protector Express window open when you are not at your PC desktop. Doing
so allows users without security clearance unauthorized access to the network. Be certain to log out of Data
Protector Express before leaving your PC desktop. If you have jobs scheduled to run, either log out instead
of exiting Data Protector Express or make sure the Data Protector Express service is running.

Scheduling Commands

There are a number of commands for controlling scheduled jobs. (Scheduled jobs are all jobs that do not
use the Run now schedule option in the job creation wizard.) These commands are accessed from ...
• The Commands pane
• A context menu opened by right-clicking on the job in the Job Status view
• The job's Properties page
