- Select Enable advanced domain security and click OK,
- Expand the Advanced link in the navigation bar and click Security.

Configure Performance Settings
Performance settings can be configured to optimize resources consumed by Yosemite Server Backup.
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| Max number of active hosts | Controls how many clients can be started for all active backup jobs in the Backup Domain. This option is used to prevent packet loss from occurring if data is transmitted over a network with limited available bandwidth. |
| Max number of active selection lists | Controls how many hosts can build their selection list for all active backup jobs in the Backup Domain. This is used to limit use of the database and keep it responsive for active jobs. |
Configure Alert Settings
By default, all alerts are logged. You can control the types of alerts that are logged in the operating system's event log by selecting the boxes next to Error , Warning , Information , or License . Barracuda Networks strongly recommend that you log Error and Warning alerts. An Alert button in the lower right corner of the status bar flashes when an alert is generated that requires attention.
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Error | An event has prevented a job from completing. For example, if there is no media in a backup device, Yosemite Server Backup generates an alert. |
| Warning | Indicates that a limitation is about to be reached, |
| Information | Provides non-critical information about system status. |
| License | Indicates that the terms of a license agreement have been exceeded or that a license is about to expire, |
Configure Domain Security
Yosemite Server Backup supports rich user, group and permission-based security policies. Contact Technical Support for more information. When Yosemite Server Backup is first installed, these features are disabled. The Administrator will not require a password to log in.
| Options | Description |
|---|---|
| Enable advanced domain security | Allows creation of users, enhancement of passwords, and the ability to set permissions for various objects. When enabled, Administrator displays a login screen at startup. All object property pages include an additional page, Permissions , and the Logon Controls properties of Users and Groups are enabled. |
| Require password to log in from remote machines | Allows remote login without a password; may allow unauthorized access to data. Disabling this option allows login from Master Server without a password. |
Setting a User Password
When security is enabled, a new view, Security , appears under the Advanced link in the Navigation pane. Clicking it displays a list of Users and Groups. The system comes preconfigured with one User, Admin , and one Group, Everyone . To set a password for a user, select the user and click the Change Password command in the command bar. For many users, simply setting a password on the Admin user is sufficient to meet their security needs.
