Customizing nightly jobs for a protected machine

Nightly jobs can be configured at the Core level or at the machine level. When nightly jobs are set at the Core level, the changes are applied to all relevant machines protected by that Core. Changes made to the nightly jobs at the machine level supersede the changes made at the Core level, but apply only for the machines specified.

For a list of all nightly jobs, including descriptions and the scope available for each, see the topic Understanding nightly jobs.

Complete the steps in the following procedure to make changes to the nightly jobs for a single protected machine.

1.
In the Rapid Recovery Core Console, under the Protected Machines menu, click the IP address or machine name for the machine for which you want to customize nightly jobs.
The Summary page for the selected machine appears.
2.
Click the Settings menu.

The Settings page appears, showing configuration settings for the selected machine.

3.
Optionally, click the Nightly Jobs link to scroll down in the Settings page to view nightly jobs settings.

Removing a machine

When you remove a machine from protection on the Rapid Recovery Core, you are presented with two options: you can keep the recovery points saved thus far to the RR Core, or you can remove the recovery points. If you keep the recovery points, you have what is known as a “recovery points only” machine. Using those recovery points for the machine that has been removed from current protection, you can continue to restore the machine in the future, but only up to the state captured in a saved recovery point.

If you remove the recovery points, this action deletes any snapshot data for that formerly protected machine from the Rapid Recovery Core.

* 
CAUTION: If you delete recovery points, you will no longer be able to restore data for that machine.

Complete the steps in the following procedure to remove a machine from protection in your Rapid Recovery environment.

1.
From the Rapid Recovery Core Console, in the left navigation pane under Protected Machines, click the machine you want to remove.
2.
On the Summary page for the relevant machine, click Remove Machine.
3.
In the dialog box, if you want to also delete all recovery points for this machine from the repository, select Remove with recovery points.
4.
To confirm your choice to remove the machine, click Yes.
Rapid Recovery removes the machine from protection and cancels all active tasks for that machine.
