Data Protector Express User Guide (TC330-96005, September 2011)

10 Backup Domain Configuration
To configure the Domain Server, select Domain Configuration command in the menu bar. This
displays the Properties window for the domain. Select the particular property page you want to
configure from the tasks list.
E-mail Settings
You can configure e-mail information for the Data Protector Express management domain. Jobs
can be configured to automatically e-mail log to the job owner upon completion. Before Data
Protector Express can send logs by email, the service must be configured to use an email server.
Server address
Enter the address of the mail server
Server port
Enter the appropriate SMTP port. The default is 25, which is usually the correct value. If you are
using a proxy server, you may have to enter a different port.
From address
Enter the e-mail address to be used in the From field for each job log e-mail. This e-mail address
must be valid.
Execution Options
To limit pre- and post-commands to those in the script directory, you can check the box next to
Prevent execution of commands outside of script directory. You might choose to do this for security
reasons by tightly controlling the commands that are available in the script directory.
For more information on pre/post commands, see “Job Pre-Post Execution Commands”.
Barcode Filter
You can define ranges of media barcodes that are available to any job within the Backup Domain.
Barcode ranges defined for a particular job are only available within that single job.
For more information on the use of barcode filters, see “Barcode Filters for Jobs”.
Performance Settings
The performance settings control the number of active clients (hosts) on the network and the number
of active selection lists on the database. There are two parameters that can be configured to
optimize resources consumed by Data Protector Express.
Max number of active hosts
This number controls how many clients can be started for all active backup jobs in the Backup
Domain. This option is used to prevent packet loss from occurring if data is transmitted over a
network with limited available bandwidth.
Max number of active selection lists
This number controls how many hosts can build their selection list for all active backup jobs in the
Backup Domain. This is used to limit use of the database and keep it responsive for active jobs.
Alert Settings
You can control the types of alerts that are logged in the operating system's event log by checking
the boxes next to Error, Warning, Information, or License. HP recommends that you always select
the logging of Error and Warning alerts. By default, all alerts are logged.
