Use these instructions to edit a protection job.
From the Manage Jobs page, highlight the job and click View Job Details in the toolbar.
In the Tasks area on the right on the View Job Details page, click Edit job properties.
You will see the same options available for your protection job as when you created the job, but you will not be able to edit all of them. If desired, edit those options that are configurable for an existing job. See Creating a protection job for details on each job option.
Changing some options may require Double-Take to automatically disconnect, reconnect, and remirror the job.
If you want to modify the workload items or replication rules for the job, click Edit workload or replication rules.
In the Server Workloads section, you can add or remove any volumes from your protected data. If you add a new volume, you can create a new disk or use an existing disk after you click OK on the Choose Data page and are returned to the Edit Job Properties page. If you remove a volume, the image for the volume will be removed and you will not able to recover that volume, including any snapshots for that volume. You can specify if you want to delete the virtual disk associated with the volume's image. If you delete the virtual disk, you will not be able to reuse that disk in a future DR protection job. If you want to be able to reuse the virtual disk, do not delete the virtual disk.
You can also modify the specific Replication Rules for your job. Volumes and folders with a green highlight are included completely. Volumes and folders highlighted in light yellow are included partially, with individual files or folders included. If there is no highlight, no part of the volume or folder is included. To modify the items selected, highlight a volume, folder, or file and click Add Rule. Specify if you want to Include or Exclude the item. Also, specify if you want the rule to be recursive, which indicates the rule should automatically be applied to the subdirectories of the specified path. If you do not select Recursive, the rule will not be applied to subdirectories.You can also enter wildcard rules, however you should do so carefully. Rules are applied to files that are closest in the directory tree to them. If you have rules that include multiple folders, an exclusion rule with a wild card will need to be added for each folder that it needs applied to. For example, if you want to exclude all .log files from D:\ and your rules include D:\, D:\Dir1 , and D:\Dir2, you would need to add the exclusion rule for the root and each subfolder rule. So you will need to add exclude rules for D:\*.log , D:\Dir1\*.log, and D:\Dir2\*.log.If you need to remove a rule, highlight it in the list at the bottom and click Remove Rule. Be careful when removing rules. Double-Take may create multiple rules when you are adding directories. For example, if you add E:\Data to be included in protection, then E:\ will be excluded. If you remove the E:\ exclusion rule, then the E:\Data rule will be removed also.
Click OK to return to the Edit Job Properties page.
Double-Take validates that your source and target are compatible. The Summary page displays your options and validation items.
Errors are designated by a white X inside a red circle. Warnings are designated by a black exclamation point (!) inside a yellow triangle. A successful validation is designated by a white checkmark inside a green circle. You can sort the list by the icon to see errors, warnings, or successful validations together. Click on any of the validation items to see details. You must correct any errors before you can continue.
Once your servers have passed validation and you are ready to update your job, click Finish.
