Backup Manager Agent Options
You may select backup options on a per-database basis or define a set of default options for all databases in a backup job. The Agent then applies the options to each database as appropriate.
- Agent Options/Database Level Options--These are agent backup options and apply to only the selected database. They can either extend or override the Global Agent options. Access Database Level Options by right-clicking the database object and selecting Agent Option from the shortcut menu.
- Global Options/Agent Options--These options let you specify default job options for all selected objects in the Agent type. Global Agent Options are not supported by releases of the Agent prior to r12.5. Access Global Agent Options from the Agent Options tab of the Global Options dialog.
Global Agent Options applied at a global level let you specify default job options for all databases for the Agent selected. Options selected for a specific object at the database level can either extend or override the options specified as a global option. As a general rule, options applied at the global level will extend or override options that you specify on the Job Schedule tab.
Certain options are available from only one Agent Option dialog; they are noted.
Note: The agent combines options that you specify at the database level for a specific database with the appropriate global agent options.
You can specify Global Agent Options for the Arcserve Backup components that follow:
Consider the behavior that follows when packaging jobs using the above-described agents:
- Global agent options are not supported by releases of the above-described agents prior to Arcserve Backup r12.5, nor are they applied if you use any other agent to back up Microsoft SQL or Exchange Server databases.
- When you upgrade an older agent to Arcserve Backup r12.5 or later, the agent applies both any pre-existing local options and all global options that apply and do not conflict with the database level (local) options.
- For jobs packaged using older agents, local options are carried over as local options.
