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. |
