Field | Description | Sample Value |
Collector Domain | The domain of the collector to which the collector backup policy is being added. This is a read-only field. By default, the domain for a new policy will be the same as the domain for the collector. This field is set when you add a collector. | |
Policy Domain | The Collector Domain is the domain that was supplied during the Data Collector installation process. The Policy Domain is the domain of the policy that is being configured for the Data Collector. The Policy Domain must be set to the same value as the Collector Domain. The domain identifies the top level of your host group hierarchy. All newly discovered hosts are added to the root host group associated with the Policy Domain. Typically, only one Policy Domain will be available in the drop-down list. If you are a Managed Services Provider, each of your customers will have a unique domain with its own host group hierarchy. To find your Domain name select My Profile in the User Account menu. | yourdomain |

Inventory | Click the clock icon to create a schedule frequency for collecting data relating to system details such as system, disk, tape, VTL and filesystem compression. You can schedule the collection frequency by minute, hour, day, week and month. Advanced use of native CRON strings is also available. Optimize performance by scheduling less frequent collection. Note: Explicit schedules set for a Collector policy are relative to the time on the Collector server. Schedules with frequencies are relative to the time that the Data Collector was restarted. | |
Jobs | Click the clock icon to create a schedule frequency for collecting data relating to backup jobs. The default collection is every 30 minutes. You can schedule the collection frequency by minute, hour, day, week and month. Advanced use of native CRON strings is also available. The default maximum number of hours that will be collected is 168 (7 days). Note: Explicit schedules set for a Collector policy are relative to the time on the Collector server. Schedules with frequencies are relative to the time that the Data Collector was restarted. | |
Drives in Use | Click the clock icon to create a schedule frequency for collecting data relating to the drives in use for backup. You can schedule the collection frequency by minute, hour, day, week and month. Advanced use of native CRON strings is also available. Note: Explicit schedules set for a Collector policy are relative to the time on the Collector server. Schedules with frequencies are relative to the time that the Data Collector was restarted. | |
Skipped File Details | Activates skipped file collection details - this collects which files had problems during backup/restore and needed to be skipped. It collects client logs and may require WMI proxy information. Click the clock icon to create a schedule frequency for collecting data relating to the skipped files during backup. You can schedule the collection frequency by minute, hour, day, week and month. Advanced use of native CRON strings is also available. Note: Explicit schedules set for a Collector policy are relative to the time on the Collector server. Schedules with frequencies are relative to the time that the Data Collector was restarted. Note: By default, this field is not selected. Activating this field will cause another collection to run periodically that may take hours (depending on the number of clients). You can also access the CommCell GUI for additional information. | |
