BackBox H4.00 User Manual

User Interface
152 BackBox H4.00 User Manual
If the account is unqualified, ex: USER1, the VTC will execute a local Windows
login. The account must exist in each VTC with the same password.
Password: Password for the account above.
Disk Space Warning Threshold (%): This parameter is used by the NonStop
TACL macro BB022_CHECK_SPACE to check the total free space available in all
Windows Data Stores. When the space occupied on disk is higher than this
threshold, the EMS message 3217 is issued in the daily batch OBB017.
Check Volume Timestamp: When enabled, the VTC checks that the Windows
index and data files match the timestamp of the last load for output registered in
the domain catalog.
These checks are normally enabled, increasing the control of restore operations.
When a volume must be loaded despite a timestamp discrepancy, it is
recommended to disable this timestamp check for specific volumes rather than
disabling it for the Data Store. If the Data Store check is enabled, the volume
timestamp check will be automatically set again when the volume will be
rewritten with a new backup.
Storage optimization: This selects a de-duplication engine. ‘Generic’ selects
regular processing without de-duplication. The possibilities of optimization
depend on the license key, StoreOnce NAS is one of the possible optimizations.
Windows Pool section
This section permits to add or modify a path for storing Windows files into three
pools:
Storage pool is the regular pool.
Spare pool is an emergency, second choice pool to write new backups when the
Storage pool is not available.
Copy pool is assumed to contain a copy of the files in Storage pool, and is used
only for a restore, when the volume is not found in the Storage pool.
Note: Spare and Copy pool tab can be access only if licensed option “Windows
advanced pool Management” is enabled. See more in Windows advanced pool
management.
In a pool, the VTC will choose a path when a tape volume is created, and may
migrate it to a better location when re-writing the volume for a new backup.
Path: path name where virtual volumes will be stored. Each path must be a fully
qualified Network Share entered as an UNC path (ex: \\SVR1\BBOX\STORE1). In
exceptional case, the path name can be also define as a local directory (ex:
C:\BBOX\STORE1) See more considerations in Windows Files Data Store.
Rank: preference of the path in the pool. Path(s) with Rank 1 will be chosen
first, and filled before writing on other paths. Paths of the same rank will be
distributed according the work load and the free space.
Reserved For: allows entering a Volume class for which the path will be
dedicated.
