DS-Operator F1 Help for GUI (Context-Sensitive) : DS-Client - Advanced Tab
 
DS-Client - Advanced Tab
Use this dialog box to configure a DS-Client's advanced settings.
 
DS-Client Report
Show “stored size” in Backup Sets report
Select this check box to activate this option.
Users on DS-Client side will see additional information about “stored size” in some reports.
Storage History Setting
History Interval
Choose the default interval at which DS-System will record storage history information for the DS-Client.
This information is used in the "Storage Trend" (Reports > Charts > Storage Trend).
More frequent intervals (like 5 or 10 minutes) require more space in the DS-System database, however they provide more precise trend information.
Storage Group
Select the Storage Group where data from the DS-Client will reside.
Click [...] to bring up the "Storage Groups" screen.
If you are creating a new DS-Client, the DS-Client library will be created in this Storage Group.
Enable two-factor authentication
Select this check box to enable this feature for the DS-Client. If you disable this feature, you must type your current DS-Operator log on password before you can apply the change.
Password
If this box appears, you must type your current DS-Operator user log on password to proceed.
Email Address
Type the email where notifications for the DS-Client will be sent.
Description
Type a descriptive phrase if you wish to have it appear in the Customers tab tree to the right of the DS-Client number.
Mass Deployment
Auto-registration counter
Make this a “Template DS-Client” for mass deployment. Choose the number of DS-Clients that can automatically register using this template:
You can generate one .CRI file from this “Template DS-Client” and use it for all the DS-Clients you want to mass deploy. Each auto-registered DS-Client will have identical configurations, except for a unique, sequential DS-Client number.
Each new DS-Client installation that connects to the DS-System and tries to register as this “Template DS-Client” will be automatically assigned another sequential DS-Client number (with the exception of the note below).
The counter will drop by one as each DS-Client registers. When it reaches 1, no new DS-Clients will be created (unless you increase the counter). To allow registration of the template DS-Client, clear this option.
Note: If this “Template DS-Client” has the “Requires Registration” option selected (in the Connection tab), each time a new DS-Client request is received the DS-System will check the hardware ‘cookie’ it receives with those of all existing DS-Clients under this same customer account. If a matching cookie is found (meaning an existing hardware installation is trying to re-install a DS-Client), DS-System will re-assign the existing DS-Client number corresponding to the matching cookie. [This also means that if the “Requires Registration” option is off, a new DS-Client number is generated every time a new DS-Client installation is requested from this “Template DS-Client”.]
Fill up description with DS-Client computer name
If selected, each DS-Client that registers using this “Template DS-Client” will have its computer name automatically written into the “Description” field of this screen.
This allows easier sorting of the DS-Clients when browsing the Customers Tree in the DS-Operator GUI.
DS-Client Backup Policy
Select to enable the Centrally Managed Backup Policy Tool. This means the DS-System will assume control of the DS-Client.
Use Customer’s default Backup Policy
Indicates if the DS-Client is using the default Backup Policy (defined in the "Edit Customer Profile - Profile Tab").
Define a Backup Policy for this DS-Client
Select to assign a specific backup policy to the DS-Client.
Edit: Click to open the "Edit DS-Client Backup Policy" screen. This allows you to define a specific Backup Policy.
