Point in Time Restore Options

Arcserve Backup lets you perform point in time restores from data that is stored in synthetic backup sessions.

Note: To view this option, enable the Enable Synthetic Full Backup option from the Start tab in Backup Manager. For more details, see Specify the Synthetic Schedule for a Synthetic Full Backup.

Enable Point in Time Restore (PIT Restore)--With this option specified, Arcserve Backup executes point in time, incremental backups on all daily backup executions except for the days that full backups are scheduled to execute. You can specify the point in time restore option to all scheduled jobs that apply to Arcserve Backup file system agents.
For jobs with this option specified, Point in Time Incremental appears as the Backup Method in the Activity Log and as the Session Method in the Restore by Session window. However, in the Backup Manager window, the Backup Method appears as Incremental.

Important! The Enable Point in Time Restore option applies to only synthetic full backup jobs.
