Specify Advanced Backup Settings

CA ARCserve D2D lets you specify the advanced settings for your backups.

Specify the advanced backup settings

1. From the CA ARCserve D2D home page (or CA ARCserve D2D Monitor), select Change Backup Settings and click the Advanced Settings tab.

   The Advanced Settings options dialog opens.

   

2. Specify your advanced backup setting options.
   • Notifications

     Specifies to send automatic email alert notifications upon the completion of selected events. The available options are to send an alert notification for the following events:

     • Missed jobs

       Sends an email alert notification for all missed jobs. A missed job is any scheduled job that did not run at the scheduled time. This could happen when some other job is running or previous job that started earlier did not finish yet. For example, if an export or recovery job is running at the scheduled time for a backup job, then that backup job will be missed.

     • Backup, Restore, or Export job failure/crash

       Sends an email alert notification for all unsuccessful backup, restore or export job attempts. This category includes all failed, incomplete, canceled, missed jobs, and crashed attempts.

     • Backup, Restore, or Export job success

       Sends an email alert notification for all successful backup, restore or export job attempts.

     • Destination free space is less than

       Sends an email alert notification when the amount of unused space at the backup destination is less than a specified value. For this option, you can further select either a percentage of the total capacity or a specific value (in MB) for the threshold level of when the alert notification will be sent.

     After you select to send an email notification, you can then click Email Settings to display the related dialog. For more information, see Specify Email Settings.

   • Actions

     Specifies to run script commands for actions to be taken prior to the start of the backup, after the snapshot image is captured, and/or upon the completion of the backup. You can also trigger the script command based upon specific exit codes and select the action to be taken (run job or fail job) when that exit code is returned.

     • A "run job" action directs CA ARCserve D2D to continue to run the job if the specified exit code is returned.
     • A "fail job" action directs CA ARCserve D2D to cancel the job if the specified exit code is returned.
3. Click Save Settings.

   Your advanced backup settings are saved.
