Vaulting Process Configuration
Vaulting process configuration allows the various vaulting-related options to be defined. There are several categories of these options; each is is presented in an "accordion" like manner in the opening screen and each is discussed in detail in the sections that follow.
Throttling Options
This pane allows information related to vaulting "throttling" to be specified. Throttling is simply the act of responsibly sharing the bandwidth of the WAN by which the Unitrends' vaulting appliance provides disaster recovery services. The vault name, connection type, and connection effective bandwidth are set in this screen. Once these are set, it is possible to set the weekly vaulting schedule via a graphical tool consisting of 7x24 small boxes that represent each hour of the week.
Baremetal and Application Options
This pane allows BareMetal backups, Legacy SQL Server backups, and Legacy Exchange backups to be specified to be protected via disaster recovery. If the Exchange server is protected using the Legacy Exchange Agent, the directories associated with the backups should also be specified. For BareMetal Backups, ensure that the client's 'Sync to Vault?' checkbox is checked in the client modification screen.
For non-legacy vaulting, it is possible to configure vaulting for individual virtual machines, SQL Server databases and Exchange storage groups or databases. Selecting Configure then the application in the Navigation Pane to access the application's configuration page.
Local Directory Options
Vaulting may be used to provide disaster recovery services for any set of local directories on the on-premises Unitrends appliance. This pane allows local directories on the appliance to be specified so that they will be protected via the vault.
Connection Options
The transport type (socket or ssh), poll frequency, number of times to retry a vaulting operation before failing, maximum space for storing changes during the in-flight deduplication process, as well as whether or not vaulting will use deduplication, are all specified here. In addition, vaulting may be paused, resumed, and restarted in this pane.
Report Options
The report mail address and the time to send the report via e-mail are set in this pane.
