Device/Media page

Backup Job, Verify Job, Restore Job, Media Job
The Device/Media page shows the devices and media that will be used by the current job. For backup
jobs, devices and media listed here are the destination. For restore jobs, they are the source for locating
files to be retrieved. For media jobs, these are the devices and media that will be formatted, identified,
moved, and so on.
You can add more devices and media to be used during jobs, or you can remove them. By default, Data
Protector Express uses any available device or media on the network.
Specifies which tape drive or other removable media device Data Protector Express will use to run the
backup, restore or verify job.
By default, Data Protector Express sets this setting to the network container. When running the job, Data
Protector Express will use whatever device it finds on the network. If there is only one device in your
Data Protector Express management domain or if you only have permissions to one device, there is no
reason to change this setting.
However, if there are several devices on your network and you need to select a specific device, specify
which device the job should use by selecting it from the Device list. (If a machine has only one device,
you can just select the machine and not the device.)
To use a device that is not shown in the Device list, click the Add... button and select the new device
from the Browse dialog box. Then select the undesired network container from the Device list, click
Delete and confirm the deletion.
