Marking Files For Backup; Selecting Folders Or Selecting Files - HP BB118BV - StorageWorks Data Protector Express Package User Manual

54
A file is selected for backup when the selection box next to the file is checked.
When the box next to a folder or other container is shaded, it means that this folder or container contains
some selected files, even though it is not selected itself. When the box next to a folder or other container
is checked, the folder itself is selected and may also contain selected files within it.
You can select or deselect a file for backup by checking or clearing the selection box next to the file.
When you select a folder or volume, you automatically select all files contained in it.
You can select the contents of the folder in one of two ways: either by individually checking each object
in that folder one-by-one or by checking the folder itself. Which method you choose is important because
it affects which files Data Protector Express includes in the selection list after changes have been made to
that folder.
If you select each file in the folder individually, when new files are added to the folder, Data Protector
Express does not select them for backup. However, if you select the folder itself, when new items are
created in that folder, Data Protector Express also includes these files in the backup job.
To speed up file selection on machines, consider organizing machines into workgroups. When you
select a workgroup, Data Protector Express will back up selected files on all of the machines. This way,
file selection is quicker and data for distinct groups within your organization is protected with a single
backup job.
