Automatically printing job logs

Data Protector Express provides a convenient method for you to print the job log automatically. This way
you don't have to manually print a copy of each job log.
The Printer page appears on the property page of each user in the Security view. You can select a
specific printer, font, print range and number of copies. Data Protector Express prints the job log
automatically as soon as the job finishes, according to the auto-print settings of the job owner.
To configure this feature, access the group or user from the Security view, then click the Autoprint page.
Update your settings and click OK.
NOTE:
You must also select the Print log setting on the Options page of the job to automatically print the job log.

E-mailing job logs

Data Protector Express can send you an e-mail automatically when a job has completed. This way you
can know for certain that a job has run successfully or the reason why a job has failed to run correctly. If
you can retrieve your e-mail remotely, you can monitor your jobs, even if you are away from the office.
NOTE:
If a job fails before it can generate a log, Data Protector Express cannot e-mail you the job log.
To use this feature, you must configure the e-mail support option see
The job log is sent to the addresses listed on the Log Options screen of the Options page for each job. To
specify several addresses, separate each address with a semicolon (no spaces). Additionally, you can
enter the same address if you want to send a copy of every job log to the same user.
For example, you might send the Data Protector Express administrator the log of every job that runs.
Alternatively, consider setting up a separate e-mail account for the sole purpose of receiving job logs.

Audit Logs

Some files, such as databases, are mission critical and regular backups of these files are essential. It is
also essential that system administrators be able to verify that these files have been regularly backed up.
The Data Protector Express audit trails feature allows you to collect, store and print such information about
selected files and databases.
You can use the Data Protector Express audit trails feature to track how often and when a file, folder,
volume or database is backed up, verified and restored. Data Protector Express will create an audit trail
for each object for which auditing is enabled. Each time an action is performed on this object, the audit
trail or log is updated with information about when that object was backed up, restored, and so on. The
audit log also includes information about the media on which versions of a file are stored.
By default, auditing is disabled for most objects. To create an audit log for an object, you check Enable
Audit on the General property page.
Auditing is turned on for User, Exchange, and SQL objects by default. For objects that can be backed up
(for example, Exchange and, SQL), turning on the auditing flag for the object causes a special job log
entry to be made when that object is backed up. This feature calls your attention to important items, to
confirm they have been backed up, even if they don't have logging turned on.
