Typo when enabling/disabling Windows Agent Job?

[FrancWest]

Hi,

when you enable or disable a Windows Agent Job in V12 it shows the message 'Enabling selected policies' and 'Disabling selected policies'. However, when you enable or disable a Linux agent job or any other job it shows 'Enabling/Disabling selected jobs'. It this difference (policies vs jobs) on purpose or a typo?

Hello Franc

It doesn't depend on the protected operating system. The prompt will show you the right message (job/policy) for the chosen job mode.

Backup Job = Agent job mode "Managed by backup server"
Backup Policy = Agent job mode "Managed by agent"

I think it's the other way around? We have agent jobs managed by the backup server and those show 'policies'. The Linux agent job managed by the agent shows 'job'.

No, it was correct.
With managed by backup server, the job is created on the backup server. Because the backup server manages the job.
When you choose Managed by Agent, we need to get the job to the Agent. Therefore it's a policy. When the policy is applied to the agent, a Backup Job gets created on the Agent.

Backup Job = Agent job mode "Managed by backup server"


Backup Policy = Agent job mode "Managed by agent"

We have agent jobs managed by the backup server and those show 'policies'. The Linux agent job managed by the agent shows 'job'.

Can you please share a screenshot? That doesn't sound right to me.

I believe I see what you are talking about now.

This should be "Enable selected jobs". I will report it.





Thank you.

That's indeed what I mean

Hi Franc

Thanks for reporting it.
We plan to fix it in our upcoming version (v12.1).
