36 Data Protector Express User's Guide and Technical Reference
To move a job, drag it to a new location. You can also use the Delete key and the
Delete
command to
delete jobs.
NOTE: When you run a backup job, Data Protector Express uses its catalog to keep track of the files you
have backed up and the name of the media on which they are stored. Deleting a job does not affect how
the catalog tracks files and media. Data Protector Express continues to track these files and media even
after the job that created them has been deleted. However, the jobs associated with this job will also be
deleted.
Creating job groups
Data Protector Express provides a special job type called a Job Group. Use this job to set up a list of jobs
that you want to run together. As you select jobs to include in job group, they appear on the Jobs view.
Scheduling options for job groups are similar to scheduling options for any other job type. You can select
a Schedule Type, Start Time and Start Date; however, you cannot select or modify a Rotation Type or Job
Mode. Each job retains its rotation type and job mode.
To create a job group
From the Jobs and Media view, select New… and select Job Group in the Available Types list.
2. Enter a name for the job group and click
OK
.
3. Set up the job group as follows:
•
On the
General
page enter description information, and check the

box if you want
Data Protector Express to keep a log for the job
•
On the

•
On the Schedule page, select the days and times to run the jobs
•

4. Click Apply or OK to save your changes.
Data Protector Express will run the job group based on the schedule. The job will be stored in your Home
folder.
Organizing jobs with folders
Every backup, restore, verify and media job is stored by Data Protector Express inside a folder. By
default, Data Protector Express stores all jobs in the Home folder of the user who creates the jobs.
However, you can create new folders to help organize your jobs or you can use existing folders.
