86 Data Protector Express User's Guide and Technical Reference
Note that the Selection Filters window for verify jobs is similar to the Selection Filters window for
backup jobs. This allows you to use the same filters to select the files for verifying that you used for
selecting files for backing up previously. This allows you to create a verify job that selects the same files
as a backup job, no matter how widely distributed over the network these files may be.
NOTE: Data Protector Express figures the century dates using the following algorithm: if the year is 70 or
smaller, the century is set to 20 (21st century); if the year is 71 or greater, the century is set to 19 (20th
century). For example, if you set the date to 01-Jun-33, Data Protector Express calculates the date as June
1, 2033. If the date is set to 05-Apr-81, Data Protector Express calculates the date as April 5, 1981.
Backup Range
When a file is backed up, Data Protector Express stores the date the file was backed up in the Data
Protector Express catalog. This is called the backup date. Each time you back up a file, Data Protector
Express changes the backup date to the date of the backup. (You can view this information for all of the
available versions in the
Versions of…
window in the
Backed up
field list.) You can use this information
to filter files for verify jobs.
To select files that have specific backup dates, click on the
Browse
button next to the
Backup range
field. In the
Date Range
window that appears, select the appropriate range type and the starting and
ending dates and times.
Modify Range
Each time a file is modified, its modified date is updated. You can use this filter to verify files with a
modify date that matches your criteria. Data Protector Express checks the directory information on the
volume to see if the file should be included in the verify job. For example, you can select only those files
that were modified
after
a certain date and time or, alternatively, those that were modified
before
a certain
date and time.
To select files that have specific modify dates, click on the Browse button next to the Modify range field.
In the Date Range window that appears, select the appropriate range type and the starting and ending
dates and times.
