Scheduling delta chain optimization
Delta chain optimization is scheduled on the DS-System. Each task will perform one pass through the selected backup directories on the DS-System. During optimization, DS-System enforces the master-delta chain length to the files in each directory. For more information, see:
“Configuring the delta chain settings”.
To schedule delta chain optimization:
1. On the Setup menu, click Schedule. The Schedules dialog box appears.
2. To add a scheduled task, click Add. The New Schedule Wizard appears.

5. On the Options page, do the following:
a) Beside the Optimization selection box, select what will be optimized.
Modified Directories | (Default) The delta chain optimization task will only process directories the DS-System has flagged as ‘modified’ since the last optimization task was run. |
All Backup Sets | The optimization task will run on all backup sets on the DS-System. |
Modified Backup Sets | The optimization task will only run on modified backup sets. For each backup set, optimization will process all directories. |
b) Beside the Concurrent optimization processes box, select how many processes to run at the same time.
