Configuring machine settings
Once you have added machines for protection in Rapid Recovery, you can easily view and modify the settings
that govern the behavior of that protected machine. When you modify settings for a specific machine, those
settings supersede the behavior set at the Core level.
You can view and configure the following machine settings in the Rapid Recovery Core Console:
•
General. General machine configuration settings include display name, host name, port, encryption key, and repository.
For information about configuring general settings for a machine, see
Viewing and modifying protected machine settings
•
Nightly jobs. The subset of Core nightly job settings that appear for a specific protected machine allow you to supersede
nightly job settings set at the Core level. This includes rollup, which lets you manage the retention policy. Some settings
may differ based on the type of machine that is protected.
•
Transfer settings. Settings specific to managing data transfer processes for the selected protected machine. For
information about the types of data transfer affected by these settings, see
About modifying transfer settings
•
Excluded writers. These settings let you exclude writers. These are machine-specific. A writer is a specific API published
my Microsoft to allow other software components to participate in using Microsoft Volume Shadow Services (VSS). Each
of the writers in Rapid Recovery that participate in volume snapshots are listed in the Excluded Writers settings. In the
event that a writer is interfering with or precluding successful backup transfers, these can be disabled one by one. Dell
recommends leaving these settings alone, unless you are otherwise directed by a Dell Support representative.
•
License details. These are details about the license for the specific protected machine. These settings report information
from the Core and the Dell Data Protection | Rapid Recovery License Portal. These settings are read-only. To change
these settings, update your license information between the Core and the license portal. See your license administrator
for details. For more information, see the Dell Data Protection | Rapid Recovery License Portal User Guide.
The procedure for viewing or changing machine-level settings is identical for general, excluded writers, and
license details. For more information, see
Viewing and modifying protected machine settings
.
The procedure for modifying nightly jobs for a machine is different. For information about configuring nightly job
settings for a machine, see
Customizing nightly jobs for a protected machine
In some cases, you may want to adjust the data transfer rate for a protected machine. For more information, see
About modifying transfer settings

Viewing and modifying protected machine settings
Machine settings help determine the behavior of a machine protected by the Core. When you modify settings for a
specific machine, those settings supersede the behavior set at the Core level.
Complete the steps in this procedure to view and modify general settings, transfer settings, settings for excluded
writers, and licensing settings for a protected machine.
NOTE:
To view and modify nightly job settings, see
Customizing nightly jobs for a protected machine

1. In the Rapid Recovery Core Console, under the Protected Machines menu, click the IP address or machine
name for the machine for which you want to view or modify configuration settings.
