Tool Bar - HP BB118BV - StorageWorks Data Protector Express Package User's Manual & Technical Reference

Alerts The Alerts view displays a list of generated alerts. You can view details on any alert displayed
in this view. Data Protector Express jobs can generate alerts when jobs run, e.g., if media is required
to be inserted in a backup device. Other alerts are related to licensing. Most licensing alerts are
evaluation reminders. An evaluation version of optional features in Data Protector Express is automatically
installed when you originally install Data Protector Express. Each time you access an optional feature
that is running as an evaluation, Data Protector Express displays an evaluation alert for 60 days. Use
the Clear Evaluation Alerts command to clear all of these alerts at once, or you view each alert and
clear them individually.
