Control of Job Runtime

Arcserve Backup can determine if a device is being used by a job, even if it is on another SAN-attached server. It can then wait until the device is free before starting another job.

When there are many jobs waiting in the queue for the same device, there is no way to determine which job will run next. If priority is important, configure the start times based on how long you think the previous job will take. By carefully arranging the start times, you should have no more than one job ready to begin at a time.
