To open a job template

1. Select File from the main menu and then select Open from Template.
2. The Open Job Template dialog opens.
2. Complete the following fields and click Open.
   • Look In--Indicates the path for the job template file. While default job templates are stored in the Templates/Jobs folder in the Arcserve Backup directory, you can save your template in any directory you want.
   • File Name--Enter a name for the job template you want to open.
   • Files of type--If you saved the job template in another format, select the file format you want to open. By default, the job template will be saved with an .ast extension.

4. Note: You can choose from seven default job templates or you can create a custom template to meet your individual backup needs. The default job templates are designed to meet specific backup tasks such as rotation scheme, backup method, and GFS options. The default job templates can be accessed from the File menu when you choose the Open from Template option.
