Data Protecto
rExpressService
The Data Prote
ctor Express service lets you run scheduled jobs automatically, whether or not an operator
is present. The Data Protector Express service is called a service on Windows and a daemon on Linux
systems.
When install
ed, the Data Protector Express service automatically loads at system startup. It runs in the
background without a user interface. At any time, you can start the Data P rotector Express user interface.
Later, when you close the Data Protector Express user interface, the Data Protector Express service
continues to run in the background.
If the system loses power, the Data Protector Express service automatically restarts following system restart.
Therefore, your backup jobs still run as scheduled.
You must ins
tall Data Protector Express on each computer that will be included in an automatic back up
schedule.
For information on c on fig uring and using the Data Protector Express service, refer to the Data Protector
Express User Guide.pdf.
