Creating and using scripts for your backup jobs

Save your backup job settings like you would save a text file

You can save any type of job 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.

Creating a script has the following advantages:

• You can re-use the same settings at a later time
• You can copy your backup settings to a different ARCserveIT host
• You can re-submit jobs quickly after a system crash

  For procedural information on how to save your backup job as a job script, open an existing script, or modify an existing script, see `Saving, opening and modifying job scripts'.
