Jobs

For ease of use and configuration, SIOS DataKeeper does much of its management of mirrors through an entity called a job. A job is a logical grouping of related mirrors and servers. This feature allows you to create a job for complex repetitive tasks and run them quickly from the SIOS DataKeeper user interface.

Mirrors that are related should be placed in a single job. For instance, multiple mirrors protecting an application like SQL Server should be placed in the same job. Mirrors that are unrelated should be placed in separate jobs.

Note: Mirrors created in previous versions of SIOS Data Replication will be imported as individual jobs. The administrator must take care to edit these jobs to ensure that mirrors are logically grouped together.
