Job Definition Overview
From the Jobs tab you can create and edit job definitions. A job definition is a user-defined set of tasks and rules. Once a job definition is added to ECX, it can be combined with a schedule or trigger to create a job. There are several job types including Inventory, Backup, Restore, Reports, and Scripts.
A schedule is a set of rules for triggering a job definition. Create a schedule to apply to one or more job. Once a schedule is applied, the job sessions are run as defined by the parameters of the schedule.
When a job is run, the job session status is monitored and its status can be watched real-time in the job monitor. Job sessions are run on demand or by trigger.
Best Practice: Create a schedule before creating a job definition so that you can easily add the schedule to the job definition.
Job Types
ECX utilizes automated Copy Data Management workflows for replicating and intelligently reusing snapshots, vaults, and mirrors. Backup and Restore jobs offer control over testing and cloning use cases, instant recovery, and full disaster recovery. Through Backup and Restore jobs, you can:
- Copy data from a variety of storage providers to multiple locations.
- Reuse and recover resources from snapshots, vaults, mirrors, and other copies and replicas.
- Support use cases for automated data protection, recovery, DevOps, Dev/Test, data and database validation with data masking, through the use of automated Instant Disk Restore, Instant VM Restore, volume, and file restore functionalities.
