Data Protector Express User's Guide and Technical Reference
If the mounted media cannot be used for this current job, the next step is determined by the settings
specified on the
Options
page for the job. For example, Data Protector Express only formats a blank
media if that option is selected.
Scanning for Device:
This message is displayed when Data Protector Express is looking for a device to use
with the current job. This message might be displayed when the current media cannot be used with this
job or when Data Protector Express cannot find a device on the network.
NOTE:
Many times this message will be accompanied by an alert. You can view any current alerts by
clicking the
Alert
button on the
Status
bar.
Formatting Media:
If the media is already formatted, Data Protector Express proceeds to the next step.
Otherwise, Data Protector Express formats the media according to the
Auto format mode
setting on the
Options page
for the job.
Opening Device:
Once the media is mounted and formatted, Data Protector Express readies the media and
device for the job.
Running:
After opening the device, Data Protector Express runs the job. As the job is run, the
Status
window automatically displays current information about the job, including which files are being backed
up, restored or verified, which streams are active and the rate (or
throughput
) at which files are being
written to media or volumes. You can use the
Display
list box to check the progress of individual streams
or the throughput of a specific device.
Closing Device:
When Data Protector Express closes a device, it displays this message.
Building Logs and Audit Trails:
After closing the device, Data Protector Express updates the catalog with
new information from the job, such as which files were backed up, and creates a log of the job. The
specific log contents depend on the
Log options
setting on the
Options page
for the job. For more
information, see
Audit Logs
on page 132.
Merging Groups:
After a backup job has run, Data Protector Express updates the catalog to reflect any
changes to media or files created by the current job. Prior to running a restore or verify job, Data
Protector Express sorts all the selected files into the order in which they appear on the media and displays
this message.
Completed:
This message is displayed after the job is finished.
Failed:
When a job is forced to quit, Data Protector Express displays this message.
Job Logs
Each time a job is run, Data Protector Express creates a new log for that job. You can use this information
to check if a job is running as you intended and to keep a permanent record of that job. After a job
finishes, you can view or print the log, print the log automatically or have Data Protector Express email it
to one or more addresses.
You can specify the information Data Protector Express should write to the log on the
Options
page of
the job by clicking the
Log options
button. The log always includes summary information about the job,
which includes useful information about which option settings the job used when it ran. Depending on
which
Log options
setting you select, Data Protector Express will also include information about which
files were successfully or unsuccessfully restored, verified or backed up.
