Configuring default job priority settings

The Schedule Manager assigns a default priority level to each job type (backup, restore, and report). These default settings are applied globally to all backup, restore, and report jobs. The priority settings are used to prioritize resource allocation when two or more jobs are scheduled to run at the same time. You can change the default job priority settings from the Change Settings page.

By default, the Schedule Manager assigns the following priority levels:

•
Backup job: 30
•
Restore job: 20
•
Report job: 50

To change the priority settings globally for all jobs, use the following procedure. You can override the priority setting for an individual job by configuring the Job Priority option in the Schedule Set. For more information, see Creating Schedule Sets, Table 22.

To configure default job priority settings:
1
In the Navigation pane, click Change Settings.
2
On the Configuration page, click Server Settings.
3
Under Services, click Schedule Manager. In the Schedule Manager dialog box, configure the following settings:
•
Default backup job priority
•
Default restore job priority
•
Default report job priority
Type or select a value from 1 through 100. 1 denotes highest priority, while 100 denotes lowest priority. A job with a priority level of zero (0) runs as a background task.

Click Apply to apply the new settings and close the dialog box.
