This utility provides you with information about your media sessions. You can scan a single session or the entire media. Results of the media scan can be viewed in the Report Manager under the Activity Log listing, or under the User Log listing if an additional log file is created.
You could use the Scan utility to find out what information is on a media.
You would need to do this if you are trying to recover a ARCserveIT host and you need to find the most recent backup of the ARCserveIT database so that you can restore it.
When merging information from a single session into the ARCserveIT database, you must specify the session number. If you do not know the session number, you can check the Activity Log. If that is not available, you can use the Scan utility to list the contents of the media, including all session numbers.
You could also use the Scan utility if you want a list of the files that were backed up.
| The Client Agent for UNIX is required in order to perform any operations on any target host (including local hosts). |
