Symantec Backup Exec

Apply these settings to all of the managed media servers in the pool

Sets the defaults for a group of managed media servers in a pool. This option appears only for media server pools.

Fast connection with the central administration server

Configures frequent communications between the central administration server and the managed media server. By default, when you choose this setting, job status updates are sent every 10 seconds to the central administration server. Job logs and job histories are sent whenever a job on the managed media server completes.

Slow connection with the central administration server

Configures less frequent communications between the central administration server and the managed media server. By default, when you choose this setting, job status updates are sent every 120 seconds to the central administration server. Job logs and job histories are sent only when a job on the managed media server fails.

Custom settings

Enables the Edit Custom Settings option, which sets specific defaults for job recovery thresholds, for sending job status updates, and for sending job logs and histories.

Monitor jobs that are created on the local managed media server in addition to the jobs that are delegated from the central administration server

Enables you to view the jobs that are created on the local managed media server as well as delegated jobs.

You can also hold, delete, run, cancel, and change the priority order of the jobs that are created on or copied to the local managed media server.

Jobs that are created from policies on the managed media server cannot be deleted from the central administration server.

Display alert when the difference in seconds between the clocks on the managed media server and the central administration server is more than

Enables Backup Exec to create an alert if the clock on the managed media server differs from the clock on the central administration server. An alert is generated when the number of seconds indicated is exceeded.

CASO monitors the internal computer clocks on both the managed media servers and the central administration server. If time differences develop between the central administration server and the managed media servers, jobs could run at unexpected times. To prevent problems, the time that is reported on managed media server clocks should match the time that is reported on the central administration server clock. If you receive time difference alerts, reset the managed media server system clock to match the system clock on the central administration server.

If you change the system time on either the managed media server or the central administration server, you must restart the Backup Exec services on the system.
