Setting user preferences

Edit online

Use the property pages in the Data Protection Properties window to customize your IBM Storage Protect Snapshot configuration preferences.

Before you begin

The property pages customize preferences such as logging of activity, how languages and information are displayed, and tune performance. The information about the General property page is required to back up data, but the properties are set when you complete the configuration wizard.

When you configure preferences, consider the backup strategy, resource needs, policy settings, and hardware environment of your system.

Procedure
  1. In the navigation tree of Microsoft Management Console (MMC), select the Exchange Server, SQL Server, or file system instance for which you want to edit preferences.
  2. In the Action pane, click Properties.
  3. Select the property page that you want to view or edit.
    The property pages that are available depend on whether your IBM Storage Protect Snapshot system is configured for stand-alone support or IBM Storage Protect support.
  4. Edit the property page and click OK to save your changes and close the window.
What to do next
Tip: You can also view or edit properties for the dashboard and MMC. To open the properties window, click Dashboard in the navigation tree, and click Properties in the Actions pane.
