DS-User F1 Help for GUI (Context-Sensitive) : Continuous Data Protection Settings
 
Continuous Data Protection Settings
During a continuous data protection (CDP) backup session, DS-Client will detect when backup set items are changed on the source and back up the changes according to the settings specified in this screen.
Configure this screen with consideration of the type of data being backed up.
 
File Change Detection
[Windows DS-Clients]: This is automatically selected, depending on the kind of backup set:
Windows File system: Windows Built-in Monitoring
Microsoft Exchange email messages (using EWS): Windows Built-in Monitoring
Microsoft Exchange email messages (using MAPI): MLR email monitoring
 
[UNIX DS-Clients]: You can select the following:
Generic Scanner - Loops the scanning function from online File system backup sets.
File Alteration Monitor (Linux Only) - Similar to the Windows Built-in File Monitoring. Interfaces with Linux operating system functionality for notification of file changes. FAM will only be used if it is installed and working on the target machine (that is, if the FAM daemon can be started). If FAM is not installed, DS-Client will try to copy and execute a FAM instance on a target Linux machine. FAM may not be available for some UNIX platforms.
Do not back up more often than [...] Seconds / Minutes / Hours
Specify the minimum interval that DS-Client must wait before backing up a changed item or file that has been detected.
You can set a longer interval if you do not want to back up changes too frequently.
You can set a shorter interval (as short as 1 second) if you want the backups of changes to be more granular. (The actual granularity achieved depends on the speed of your network and hardware environment.)
Backup if file stops changing for [...] Seconds / Minutes / Hours
This option is for data that you know changes frequently.
DS-Client will only back up a changed item or file after detecting that it has not changed for the specified interval.
