Retargeting Jobs From The Deleted DSF
Any jobs associated with a deleted DSF must be retargeted since the DSF virtual disk has been removed from Backup
Exec. When prompted to retarget the existing jobs:
• Select Yes to retarget each job associated with the deleted DSF to backup to disk folders. Use this option to run
scheduled jobs.
NOTE: These jobs target backup to disk folders and are not deduplicated.
• Select No if you plan to immediately create a new DSF. You must ensure that the jobs associated with the
deleted DSF are not scheduled to run until the new DSF has been created and the jobs have been retargeted to
the new DSF.

Creating A New DDS Automatically

the Disk Configuration Policy is set to Automatic with Confirmation. For this operation to complete, the failed physical
disks of the old DDS must be replaced with new unconfigured physical disks.

prompted to configure the replacement disks as the new DDS virtual disk.

The DDS is created automatically.
