3. The retention period in the job settings (number of days) has passed since the backup was performed.

4. You specify a reporting date in the future at which time the backup will have expired.

Note that the changing the backup retention period for a job will not change the retention period of backups that
have already been performed.

Network Install Clients

This option is not available when using

Workstation Edition

.


Select

Reports

!Network Install Clients

to print a list of the clients that have been configured for network

installation. Refer to the main

Reports

section above for details on the

Print

and

Preview

options. The report will

contain all information pertaining to the network boot and network installation for each client. The process will
also attempt to determine if the client is currently configured for network boot on the server system. It will
include an appropriate message (client is ready to boot, boot server is unavailable, or client is not configured on
the boot serer). When selecting this option, an additional option is provided:

Include only clients currently ready for network boot: Check this box if you want the list to include only
those clients that are currently ready to be network booted from a boot server. If the boot server cannot be
contacted to determine the status of the network boot configuration, the client information will be listed
regardless.

After a client is configured for network boot (see Network Boot/Install Configuration in the

SBAdmin System

Recovery Guide

), the boot configuration is updated on the boot server. If the network boot is disabled, the

client network boot and install configuration is removed from the boot server but retained on the admin system
for future use. If not checked, the list will include all network install client configurations, whether the client is
currently ready for booting or not. If checked, the boot server assigned to the client will be checked to see if the
client is currently configured for booting, and the client configuration will not be listed only if configured on the
boot server.
