Chapter 6: Scheduling Jobs 95
Note that Data Protector Express does NOT automatically update these fields when you manually “force”
a scheduled job to run. For example, when Data Protector Express automatically runs a scheduled backup
job on a Monday, it changes (updates) the
Backup Mode from Full to Incremental . But when this job is
“forced” to run before its scheduled time, Data Protector Express does not automatically update these
fields.
Before forcing a failed job to run again, open the job log of the failed job, noting the appropriate options.
If needed, print the job log. Next, open the
Options and Device/Media property pages of the failed job.
Set the settings on the options page to match those of the failed job. In particular, check the Backup
mode , Write mode , New media location , New media name and Media .
You will also want to select the appropriate media in the Media field on the Device/Media page. Use the
Browse button to select the same media as the failed job was to use. When the options of the job match
the options the failed job would have used, run the job.
If you have changed the Media field, be certain that this field is set back to its original specification so
that scheduled jobs will automatically select the proper media.
An alternative method would be to copy the failed job, change the schedule type to Not Scheduled and
then set the options settings to match the failed job. Manually “force” the job to run and delete it after it
has successfully completed.
Scheduling a job to run once only
Turn off all the dates on the Manual schedule except the desired date.
When you want to run a job only once, you should set the Schedule Type field on the Schedule page to
Not scheduled . Then you can run the job from the Backup , Restore, Verify or Media job views at any
time. If you need to run the job once during off-peak hours, you can set the Schedule Type field to Run
on specific day .
But what if you only need to run a job once during off-peak hours?
Create a new backup job that runs only once
1. From the Backup job view, create a new job.
2. When the General page appears, give it a name, such as One-Time Backup .
3. Open the Selection page and select the objects (directories, files, etc.) to back up. Consider selecting
the Network or computer name check boxes to back up all data on the computer or on the network.
4. Select Run on specific day in the Schedule Type field on the Schedule page.
5. Set the Start time and Start Date for the job.
6. Click OK to close the backup job properties window. The job will run once on the selected day at the
selected start time.
Scheduling simple backup jobs
Many computer users do not need the power of one of Data Protector Express’s default schedules. They
can manage their backups best with a simplified backup plan, such as the simple daily backup or the
simple five-day rotation described below.
