Setting Migrate Default Source Options

Migrate Source Options control how DPX behaves during a Migrate operation when it encounters certain situations involving source files and data.

To check the default migrate source options or edit default migrate source options:

  1. Open the Configure Defaults window by selecting Configure from the Function Tab bar and clicking Defaults.

  2. Expand the Manage Tapes - Migrate options.

  3. Click the Source icon or name to select it. The selection is indicated by the selection check box next to the option icon, and the Migrate Source Options dialog appears.

  4. Optionally, enter or review the Data Compression field:

    • Data Compression

      Compresses data prior to network transmission.

      Select Yes to compress data prior to transmission at the node being backed up. This setting is recommended if there is processing power available on the client nodes and network bandwidth is limited. This setting minimizes the impact of data transmission on data lines.

      Or, select No to disable the data compression.
