The Functionality Task Bar section of the home page provides a means to initiate the various CA ARCserve D2D functions.
Lets you run a Full, Incremental, or Verify ad-hoc backup immediately based on current backup settings. The backup settings are configured and defined through the Backup Settings. For more information, see Run Backup Now.
Lets you perform file level or application-level restores to the original location or to an alternate location. When you select this function, you then specify to either "Browse Recovery Points" or "Find Files/Folders to Restore" to locate the backup image to be restored. For more information, see Restore Methods.
Lets you configure/modify your backup parameters (backup destination, schedule, retention count, email notifications, and so on) to meet your specific needs. For more information, see Manage Backup Settings.
Lets you view a list of available recovery points (successful backups) and select which recovery point you want to use to create a consolidated copy. This consolidated copy combines the blocks from the previous full and all incremental backups leading to the selected recovery point. In addition, the consolidated copy also removes any unused blocks (reducing the image size) to lets you gain more efficient use of your backup resources.
Each recovery point represents a point in time that a VSS snapshot image was captured and contains not only the data, but also all information related to the operating system, installed applications, configuration settings, necessary drivers, and so on. For more information, see Manage Recovery Points
Lets you view logs of activities performed during operations such as backup, restore, and copy. The Activity Log displays the status of the job, including such details as the throughput, compression size, elapsed time, etc. For more information, see View Logs.
Lets you deploy CA ARCserve D2D to remote machines. For more information, see Deploy CA ARCserve D2D Remotely.
