11 Advanced Job Options
The options in this chapter are common to backup, restore, verify and copy jobs. In most cases these
settings can be left at their default values.
Job Log options
Data Protector Express keeps a log of which files it processes while running a job. In addition to viewing
the job log from the Status and Logs view, you can configure the job to e-mail it automatically to a
designated e-mail address or save the log to a file for later viewing.
Log Type
Data Protector Express has several different levels of logging control to communicate what was protected
in a job.
Log only failed (default) This setting will log only files that could not be backed up because of some
failure.
Log only failed and not attempted This setting is log files that could not be backed up because of a
failure or because the machine hosting the file was offline or because the job was cancelled.
Log only completed This setting logs only the files that were successfully protected.
Log all This setting will log all files the job works on. Using this setting will generate a lot of log entries
and can affect the length of the backup process.
None This setting is not recommended. However, using it can speed up the backup process.
