Job status messages
As jobs are run, Data Protector Express displays messages in the Status message box indicating the
progress of the job. These messages are also displayed in the job’s
Status
field on the
Job Status
view.
Which messages are displayed depends on the type of job being run. The following short descriptions
indicate what procedures Data Protector Express is performing as each message is displayed.
Building…Selection List: The first step is to create a list of files to be backed up, verified or restored. For
backup jobs, Data Protector Express uses the selection criteria and the backup job type (whether full,
incremental or differential) to create a list of files to be backed up. The number of files and the total size
of the selected files are indicated in the
Objects
and
Size
fields under
Selected
.
Mounting Media: Data Protector Express displays this message as it mounts the media. During this step,
Data Protector Express reads identification information stored on the media. Data Protector Express then
checks to see if the media already exists in the catalog and whether or not the current job can be run using
this media.
If Data Protector Express can use the mounted media with the current job, it proceeds to the next step.
