HP Data Protector Express Basic-Software - Manual (Page 21)

• The evaluation license for the option has expired. Optional features are installed automatically
when you install Data Protector Express. Once the evaluation license expires, you can no longer
use an optional feature without purchasing and installing a license.
• The option is not available in the edition of Data Protector Express you have installed.
• An error occurred when starting Data Protector Express. Review the alerts to see if an option
failed to start properly when you started the application.
Using Quick Access from Taskbar
The Data Protector Express Administrator is very powerful and allows access to all the features of Data
Protector Express. Typically, though, only a subset of these features are used. The Quick Access taskbar
icon allows fast access to these most commonly used features without needing to open the Administrator.
The Quick Access application displays an icon in the system tray, usually at the bottom right of the screen.
You can mouse over the icon to display status information or right click it to display a menu.
With the Quick Access right-click menu, you can ...
• Manage jobs
• Manage media
• View alerts
• View logs
• Open the Administrator
The Quick Access starts automatically on the Backup Server. On other client machines, it is installed but
does not start automatically. You can launch through the system start menu. It can also be configured to
start automatically on a client machine if desired.
Viewing Data Protector Express status
The appearance of the Quick Access icon changes to indicate the state of Data Protector Express, thus
providing continuous feedback. Two or more states can occur at the same time, such as a job in progress
and a pending alert. The icon can indicate only one state at a time, so it follows this order of precedence
in which items earlier in the list take precedence over items later in the list:
Table 1 Icon viewing status

When you mouse over the Quick Access icon, a tool tip is displayed that contains additional status
information.
