Using Quick Ac
cess from Taskbar
The Data Prot
ector Express Administrator i s 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 job
s
• Manage media
• View alerts
• View logs
• Open the Administrator
The Quick Access starts automatically on the Backup Ser ver. On other client machines, it is installed but
does not s
tart automatically. You can launch through the system start menu. It can also be c onfigured to
start aut
omatically 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 e arlier in the list take precedence over items later in the list:

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