Product <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" />Split<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

The functions in WebWare Server have been grouped into two modules, the Backup Module and the Report Module. Each module requires a license that can be purchased separately. See WebWare Server Administrator's Guide, chapter 1.

Because of this, menus in the improved user interface have been grouped in a more function-oriented manner.

Data Collector

Tuning Parameters, including Filtering of Event Logs are added to reduce network traffic from the data collector. This improves overall data collection capabilities that may reduce the need for one or more data collectors in the network. See the help file for the Data Collector.

A copy of the last successful backup is stored locally at the Data Collector.
