Custom Settings

Select Show Refresh Options in the toolbar in the Recover view. This property page is available only with SQL Server and Exchange Server workloads.

In environments where thousands or millions of backup objects are stored on the IBM Storage Protect server, it can be helpful to disable the automatic refresh mode. You can click Refresh Options and use the toolbar to switch between manual and automatic refresh mode.

Automatic and manual refresh modes differ in the following ways:

• In automatic refresh mode, a view automatically refreshes the first time that you select it. If there are thousands or millions of objects on the server, the refresh can take a long time to complete.
• In manual refresh mode, the view is not automatically refreshed. A name filter is available on the Refresh Options toolbar that you can use to narrow down the number of objects selected. After you enter a name pattern, you can click Refresh. By using manual refresh mode and limiting your query by using filters, you can reduce the amount of information that is returned from the server. Reducing the amount of information that is returned from the server can improve query and restore performance.

  To help you to filter information, you can also specify an asterisk (*) as a wildcard character in the name pattern.
