How to Manage the Database and Reports

The Arcserve Backup database maintains job, media, and device information on your system. Arcserve Backup stores the following types of information in the database:

• Detailed information about all jobs.
• Session details for all backup jobs.
• Information about the media used for all backup jobs.
• Detailed information about each file and directory that was backed up to media when you perform a restore.
• When you want to restore a specific file, the database determines which media a file is stored on.
• Detailed information about media pools and media location.

The database information is also used to generate many types of reports.
