RPO Monitor Settings

This capability is available if you have selected Immediate copy at the Specify Job Name and Description step.

You can instruct a backup copy job to display a warning if a newly created restore point or transaction log is not copied within the desired recovery point objective (RPO). The RPO is counted down from the moment when the source backup job finishes and is ready to be copied.

To mark a job with the Warning status when the RPO is exceeded, do the following:

1. At the Target step of the wizard, click Advanced.
2. Click the RPO Monitor tab.
3. Select the Alert me if newly created backup is not copied within check box.
4. In the fields on the right, specify the desired RPO in minutes, hours or days.
5. If you have enabled copying of log backups, select the Alert me if newly created log backup is not copied within check box.
6. In the fields on the right, specify the desired RPO in minutes, hours or days.
