Master-Delta Chain Configuration


[This is an advanced feature. Administrators should not adjust any of these settings unless they are very familiar with the DS-Client data activity patterns on the DS-System.]

This feature allows the DS-System to be configured with specific master-delta chain reconstruction settings for each different backup set type. These changes can be applied at the Customer or DS-Client level.

The Delta Chain Configuration screen is dedicated to configuring when the DS-System reconstructs masters in a master-delta chain. This task must then be scheduled (see "Schedules (DS-System Tasks)") to run periodically (e.g. once daily) on the DS-System.

For further examples, see the Knowledge Base article "Configuring Different Master-Delta Chain Lengths".

1. Setup menu > Delta Chain Configuration.

F1 Help: See "Delta Chain Configuration".

2. To add or edit a Configuration to the list, click "New" or "Modify" in the Configuration section.

F1 Help: See "New / Modify Delta Chain Configuration".

3. Once a Configuration is created, you can add Details. Each detail will override the DS-System's default delta chain length for the specified backup set type.

4. To add or edit a Configuration's Detail, click "New" or "Modify" in the Configuration Detail section.

F1 Help: See "New / Modify Delta Chain Detail".

5. Continue with Step 4 until the Configuration contains all the Details required. When you are finished, you can assign this Configuration to Customers or DS-Clients.

6. Customer level assignment: Click "Assign" in the "Customers assigned to this delta chain configuration" section.

F1 Help: See "Assign Customer to delta chain configuration [...]".

7. DS-Client level assignment: Click "Assign" in the "DS-Clients assigned to this delta chain configuration" section.

F1 Help: See "Assign DS-Client to delta chain configuration [...]".

8. Once you have created at least one Delta Chain Configuration, you can schedule the DS-System to run the optimization task (see "Scheduled Delta Chain Optimization").
