3.2.1.2 Backup Client

The backup clients maintain the following data elements:

• Priority: The priority of backup jobs for the client. This protocol only gets this value over the wire. This value can only be changed locally on the client by adding or changing a registry.

• Automatic backup schedule: The backup schedule of automatic backup jobs for the client. This is calculated from the backup window on the server. Each client has a different backup schedule; this prevents two clients from starting the automatic backup process at the same time. The schedule can be saved in the task scheduler.<12>
