Configuring the advanced settings
By default, DS-Client is optimized for maximum performance under most conditions. For users who have expert knowledge in managing their backup data, advanced configurations are available for further performance improvement.
IMPORTANT: The default settings are sufficient to run any DS-Client. If you change any of these parameters, the DS-Client’s performance will be changed significantly. Do not attempt to change these settings unless you have a specific requirement and have confirmed this with your service provider.
NOTE: When a Grid DS-Client is used, some parameters can be applied to an individual leaf node or applied globally to all the leaf nodes of the Grid DS-Client. All Windows DS-Client parameters listed in the tables below are applied globally unless otherwise specified in the description.
To configure the advanced settings:
1. On the Setup menu, click Configuration. The DS-Client Configuration dialog box appears.
2. Click the Advanced tab.
3. You can select a category and then a parameter from the drop down lists and modify the parameter’s value in the Value box.
A brief explanation of the currently selected parameter (or the default parameter) is displayed in the Description box. The parameters that are available depend on if the DS-Client is running on Windows or Linux/Mac.
IMPORTANT: Depending on the parameter modified, you might need to restart the DS-Client service for the changes to take effect.
4. To save the modifications you have made to a parameter, click Apply.
5. To save the most recent changes and close the dialog box, click OK.
