Static Job Packaging
If you click the box next to a child item and its parent box appears half green, the parent item is packaged statically. Static job packaging means that, in a parent object, you select only certain child items to include in your job. As a result, the content of what is packaged from the parent item is determined when you schedule the job rather than when the job runs.
When a parent item is explicitly selected, it applies only to its child items (the level that immediately follows). It does not apply to any selection you may make in the child items (for example, if you choose to back up only certain files within your child items).
Examples: How Static Backup Works
A computer contains drive c:\ and drive d:\ when you submit the job.
- Drive e:\ was appended to the computer after the job completed. The next time the job runs, Arcserve Backup backs up drive c:\ and drive d:\. Drive e:\ is not backed up.
- Directory c:\documents was appended to drive c:\ after the job completed. The next time the job runs, Arcserve Backup backs up all of drive c:\, including c:\documents, and drive d:\.
- Drive d:\ was deleted from the computer after the job completed. The next time the job runs, Arcserve Backup backs up drive c:\ and reports a failed backup of drive d:\.
A source group contains computers A, B, C, and D when you submit the job. Computer A contains drive c:\.
- Computer E was added to the source group after the job completed. The next time the job runs, Arcserve Backup backs up computers A, B, C, and D. Arcserve Backup does not back up computer E because it was not included in the original source group.
- Drive d:\ was appended to computer A after the job completed. The next time the job runs, Arcserve Backup backs up computers A, B, C, and D and drive d:\ in computer A. Arcserve Backup behaves in this manner because computer A was included in the original backup source group, and Arcserve Backup backs up the volumes in the source group dynamically.
