Backup, Restore, Scan and Merge job scripts
You can save backup, restore, scan and merge jobs as a script. The script will contain the source and destinations that you selected and the schedule information, if you scheduled the job. It will also contain any filters you created to include and exclude files and directories.
Follow these directions to create and save a script:
1. Select a source and destination for the job.
2. Schedule and customize the job (if necessary).
3. From the manager's File menu, choose Save.
The scripts Save dialog box appears. This is where you will provide the name for the backup script.
4. Give the script a name, then click OK.
All ARCserveIT scripts are stored in the $ARC_HOME/jobscripts subdirectory with a default extension ".as5". You can also create the scripts in the directory of your choice, if you want other people to share the scripts. When saving scripts, you can use any name and extension.
Follow these directions to open and use a script:
1. From the File menu, choose Open.
You will be presented with a listing of available scripts.
2. Select the script that you want to use.
Select the script from the list of scripts that appears, or enter the name of the script that you want to use.
3. In the Submit dialog box, enter the date and time you want the job to run.
Since the script was saved with a date and time specified, the date and time will probably not be applicable. For that reason, you should re-enter a date and/or time on which the job will run.
To modify an existing script, make the changes you require then select Save from the File Menu. To save the script under a new name, make the changes you require, then select Save As from the ARCserveIT File Menu. Enter a new name for the script.
