Select the session(s), from the list of sessions in the FTS database, for which a report will be generated. A report lists all of the files and directories that were processed in the selected session(s). Path and file names, date/time stamps, and attributes are also given.
The status of each session in the FTS database is listed in the last column of the screen display. The status may be "Complete", "Incomplete", "Failed", or "Cancelled". "Complete" indicates that all files requested were copied successfully. "Incomplete" tells you that one or more files were not copied.
Page 1 of 3
If a nonshareable file is open during processing, the ARCserve Server will try to copy it several times. If the file is open during all of the attempts, the file is not copied and an "Incomplete" status is the result.
The status "Failed" indicates that the ARCserve Server failed to initiate the job session. A "Failed" status can result from failure to attach to the source or destination server, access the tape drive, or security violations such as an invalid password.
"Cancel" means that the job was terminated by a user/operator via the front-end, or by the program when abnormal conditions (e.g., no disk/ directory space) were detected.

Select the session(s) from the FTS database. These sessions will be searched for the files/directories that you will specify in the next screen.
A search helps find the exact location of a particular file or directory. It also helps determine the version of the file/directory to restore, as the listing contains all the file/directory names found along with their date/time stamps.
For Backup sessions, once files or directories have been located in the FTS, they can be marked and restored. ARCserve will use the Quick File Access (QFA) method to restore these files in the shortest possible time.
Page 1 of 1
List all the files and directories to be included in the search. Give full names or use wild cards.
Examples: ARCMAIN.C DIR1
ARC*.C DIRA*
ARC?.C
ARCserve will scan all of the selected sessions for these files/ directories and generate a listing of all pathnames where these files/directories were found along with their date/time stamps. A Search helps locate the exact version of a file/directory to restore.
Page 1 of 1
Enter a date and time for the purge threshold. This threshold works in conjunction with the fields above. That is, if you specify archiving and/or backup records, as well as volume and/or tape names, all speci- fied records in the database created prior to this date/time threshold will be deleted.
If you answer "Yes" to the above questions, but do not specify volume or tape names, then only the date/time threshold is used to determine which records to delete.
As the FTS database expands with each session, purging controls its size. If records are needed, but the database is extremely large, consider backing up/archiving the database before purging.

Pressing <Enter> will display a list of available archiving methods.
Complete: All Files - All files in the source directory will be copied.
Incremental: New Files Only - All files in the source without dupli- cates in the destination will be copied. If duplicate files exist in the destination, then the date/time stamps of the files are compared. If the source file is newer than the destination file, it is copied.
Incremental: Time Stamp - A threshold date and time must be entered. ARCserve then compares all available files in the source directory tree with this threshold. All files with a date/time stamp later than this threshold are copied.

The Quick Start option provides a quick and easy way of backing up all your servers before learning the details of program use. Please note that you need supervisor or equivalent privileges to use this option.
Use the <F5> key to mark the servers and workstations that you wish to backup in the unattended mode and then press <F2>.
The QuickStart operation will submit an unattended job for each file server or workstation selected. The job will be executed only once. A script will be created for each selection. You can then use these scripts with the Unattended Backup options next time you want to backup any of these machines.
All file servers on your internet and all users currently logged in to the host server will appear on the list.
Please make sure that the tape driver is properly installed and a tape is present in the drive before using this option.
Page 1 of 1
If the APPEND option is selected the session will be appended to the end of the tape.
If OVERWRITE is selected, all existing sessions on the tape will be destroyed, and this session will become the first session on the tape.
If you select OVERWRITE, please be sure to give the Tape Name that matches the tape in the drive, otherwise the job will not be executed. This is a safety feature to ensure that tapes are not erased inadvertently.

Enter the source path of the directory to be backed up. Conventional DOS or NETWARE path specifications may be used.
Example: FILE_SERVER_MKT/SYS:PROJECT
N:\PROJECT
All files within the directory, beginning with the source directory (unless otherwise specified in the INCLUDE/EXCLUDE field) will be copied to tape.
If only the file server name is given, ARCserve will back up all the volumes to the tape. Each volume will be stored as an individual session.
Example: FILE_SERVER_MKT
This will backup all volumes on server FILE_SERVER_MKT.
The <Ins> key can be used to help compose the source.

Select INCLUDE or EXCLUDE. Selecting INCLUDE will restore the specified directories. EXCLUDE will skip these directories and restore all other directories in the tree.
Enter the directory names that should be restored or skipped. A directory name or path upto 24 characters can be specified. The directory specification can be at any level in the directory tree structure.
For Example: The backup job was a complete SYS volume.
To selectively restore a WIN directory you can specify:
WIN - This will restore all WIN directories found in the session. It will preserve the tree in the restore path.
Alternately, you can specify
USR\JACK\WIN - This will restore this specific WIN directory.
