By default, Data Protector Express backs up all volumes, folders and files that have been marked for the
job. Selection filters let you identify specific criteria for excluding one or more of these marked objects.
The filter criteria is applied when the job runs, in effect unmarking any objects that do not meet the
criteria. Selection filters are optional. If no selection filter is specified, all of the files and folder that have
been marked will be backed up per the job configuration settings. For further information, see the
Data Protector Express Technical Reference Guide.
Data Protector Express can be configured to include mapped drives during backup. By default they
are excluded. Once configured, these drives will appear on the Selection page of a job. For further
information, see the Data Protector Express Technical Reference Guide.

Schedule Settings
The Schedule Settings box contains several settings that control when jobs are run and how the jobs
use media.
Schedule type
This setting is the first step in choosing when the job will run. Once scheduled, the Data Protector
Express service will ensure the job is started. If one or more job runs are missed because the service is
not running at the scheduled time, the service will determine the backup mode with the largest interval
setting (Daily, Weekly, Monthly, Yearly) that was missed and run it.
Not scheduled
The job will be run manually by the user when desired.
Run on selected days
The job will run only on a selected day (or days) at a specified time. When this
option is selected an additional setting, Scheduled Dates, will appear.
Run repeatedly
The job will run on a regular interval. Use this setting to set up a job with media
rotation. When this option is selected an additional set of options, Interval Settings, will appear. For
more information see
.
Start time
This setting is only visible for jobs that will be run on a schedule. It specifies the time of day that the
job should start. For jobs that are scheduled to run more than once, all runs will happen at the same
time of day.
