Jobs And Media View - HP BB118BV - StorageWorks Data Protector Express Package User's Manual & Technical Reference

Figure 127 Jobs and Media view
Although you can manipulate media and media folders on the Jobs and Media view, many of these
operations are normally handled automatically by Data Protector Express.
For example, when you run a job that includes media rotation, Data Protector Express will automatically
create any new media and media folders needed for that job. As tapes and other media are overwritten and
deleted from the catalog, these changes are automatically reflected on the Jobs and Media view as well.
Creating media folders You might wish to create a media folder in which to store media before you
create and run a backup job.
NOTE:
Data Protector Express automatically creates new media folders when it runs either a job with media
rotation. Data Protector Express will create a media folder in the User/Group folder and give it the name
of the scheduled backup job.
However, if you run a manual job that is not scheduled, you may want to create a new media folder in
which to store the new media for that job.
For more information on automatically creating media folders, see Backup options automatically updated.
