Viewing and printing scheduled job instructions
Whenever a job is scheduled and placed on the Job Status view, Data Protector Express creates a set of
instructions for that job. Included in a job's instructions is information about which media set must be
available to be used and which backup devices it may be inserted into.
For example, when running an automatic rotation job, the instructions for that job include the name of the
media Data Protector Express is expecting to use when that job runs next, such as "Daily Set 1" or "Yearly Set
2". The instructions also include the name of the backup devices which Data Protector Express expects to be
available when the job runs.
TIP:
You can use the instructions to ensure that all of your jobs run correctly by planning ahead to see that
each job has the media it requires before it runs.
For example, you can print the instructions and then assign a coworker the task of inserting the proper media
into various backup devices by the required time.
You can view the instructions for the jobs currently scheduled on the Job Status view by selecting
Instructions from the Favorites desk bar.
