To create a new DLO profile

1. On the DLO navigation bar, click Setup.

2. In the Settings pane, click Profiles.

3. In the task pane, under Settings Tasks, click New Profile.

4. On the General tab, select the appropriate options as follows.

   Profile Name	Type the name of the new profile that you want to create. The profile name cannot contain any of the following characters: \"@#$%^&*()=+|/{}[]'
   Description	Type a description for the profile.
   Enable Profile	Clear this check box to disable the profile. Profiles are enabled by default.
   Limit bandwidth (KB/sec)	Select Limit bandwidth (KB/sec), and then enter a maximum bandwidth to control the rate at which data is sent to the network user data folder. Limiting the bandwidth is a means to manage the trade-off between backup speed and the impact of backups on the local computer, network, and server. The default limit is meant to be a conservative setting to minimize the impact of backups. However, many factors can affect the setting, such as the following: Network speed Connection type The amount of data that is backed up The total number of computers that back up to DLO. If computer performance is not impacted, but DLO data transfer is slow, a higher bandwidth setting may be more suitable. If computer performance is noticeably impacted during backups, a lower value reduces the impact of backups on computer performance. However, backups take longer to complete. Data transfer is only limited when data is written to the network user data folder,. Data transfer is not limited when data is written to the desktop user data folder. Data transfer is not limited during the incremental backup of Outlook PST files or Lotus Notes NSF files.
   Yield bandwidth to other programs	Enables DLO to reduce data transfer over the network when other applications on the desktop computer transfer data. DLO automatically resumes normal data transfer rates when other applications are not using this resource. The yield bandwidth option monitors network traffic on the desktop computer. If DLO uses more than 90% of the total current traffic, DLO is not throttled. DLO throttles itself to use only the otherwise unused portion of the connection when the following conditions are met: DLO traffic drops below 90% of the total network traffic on the desktop Total traffic is over 60% of the maximum traffic that is seen on the connection For example, if there was 70% total usage, DLO throttles itself to 30% of maximum. Selecting this option can improve system performance when other network-intensive applications are running at the same time. Data transfer is only limited when data is written to the network user data folder. Data transfer is not limited when data is written to the desktop user data folder.
   Limit network user data folder to (MB)	Limits the disk space available on the network to store DLO backup files and type the amount of space you want to use for storage.
   Enable desktop user data folder	Enables the use of the desktop user data folder.When Enable desktop user data folder is checked, the following actions occur: Files are copied to the desktop user data folder first. Files are then copied to the network user data folder from the desktop user data folder. These actions occur even when DLO is configured to keep zero revisions in the desktop user data folder. When Enable desktop user data folder is unchecked, files are copied straight to the network user data folder from the original location. Advantages to enabling the desktop user data folder: Offline protection is provided because revisions can be stored locally as well as on the network. Because files are more quickly saved to the local computer than to the network, the time a file is held open for backup is reduced. Advantages to disabling the desktop user data folder: If local revisions are not required, this option prevents backup files from being stored in the desktop user data folder. No revisions are saved in the desktop user data folder even if backup selections specify that a certain number of revisions should be stored locally. Works well for desktop users with very limited disk space. DLO creates empty place holders in the desktop user data folder, even if the folder is disabled or the number of revisions is set to zero. The place holders can be seen in the Desktop User data folder, but contain no data. They indicate which files and folders have been backed up and saved to the network user data folder.
   Limit desktop user data folder to	Select one of the following options to limit the disk space that is available to store DLO backup files: A percentage of the total disk space (%) Enter the percentage of the total disk space that you want to allocate to storage of DLO backup files in the desktop user data folder. A size (MB) Enter the maximum amount of disk space, in megabytes, that you want to allocation to storage of DLO backup files in the desktop user data folder. By limiting available disk space for the desktop user data folder, you can prevent overloading of the desktop's hard drive. However, backups can fail to run if the desktop user data folder space limit is set too low.
   Override the default desktop user data folder path	If you do not want the desktop user data folder to reside in the default location, check Override the default desktop user data folder path. Then, type the path to the folder that you want all new Desktop Agent users that are assigned to this profile to use. The folder must already exist on the desktop before the new user logs on for the first time after being assigned to this profile. The Desktop Agent does not create the folder. If the folder does not exist before the user logs on for the first time, DLO uses the default folder for backups. The default folder is located at the following path on the computers that run Windows XP and earlier operating systems: \\Documents and Settings\<user_name>\Local Settings\Application Data\Symantec The default folder is located at the following path on the computers that run Windows Vista: \\Users\<user_name>\AppData\Symantec

5. On the Backup Selections tab, select the backup selections that you want to apply to users of this profile.

   You can add, modify, and delete backup selections for a profile from this dialog box. When a new backup selection is created, it is available for selection in all profiles. Changes that are made to a backup selection in one profile impact all other profiles that use the backup selection. Similarly, when a backup selection is deleted, the change impacts all profiles that use the backup selection.

   See About backup selections in DLO.

When Outlook PST files are backed up incrementally, only one revision is maintained regardless of the number of revisions that are set in the backup selection. Microsoft Outlook must be your default mail application for DLO to perform incremental backups of PST files. Synchronized files cannot be backed up incrementally. See About using DLO to back up Outlook PST files incrementally.
   Ignore PST files which have not been configured in Outlook	Select this option to exclude PST files that are not registered with the Microsoft Outlook client on a Desktop Agent computer.
