Static Job Packaging

If you click the box next to a child item and its parent box appears half green, the parent item is packaged statically. Static job packaging means that, in a parent object, you select only certain child items to include in your job. As a result, the content of what is packaged from the parent item is determined when you schedule the job rather than when the job runs.

When a parent item is explicitly selected, it applies only to its child items (the level that immediately follows). It does not apply to any selection you may make in the child items (for example, if you choose to back up only certain files within your child items).

Examples: How Static Backup Works

A computer contains drive c:\ and drive d:\ when you submit the job.

A source group contains computers A, B, C, and D when you submit the job. Computer A contains drive c:\.
