Operation options let you determine the actions or related action that you want to perform while a job is in progress or after a job completes, and the level of detail that is recorded in the Arcserve Backup database.
The options that follow affect the Arcserve Backup database:
Record Job Information Only--Record job information.
Disable Database Recording--Do not record job information.
Restore and Preserve Directory Attributes and Security Information--Restore the existing directory attributes (such as Read Only, Archive, and Hidden) and security data to the machine.
Restore and Preserve File Attributes and Security Information--Restore the existing file attributes (such as Read Only, Archive, and Hidden) and security data to the machine.
Restore Registry Files and Event Logs--Restore registry files and event logs to the restore target machine if the sessions selected for restore have the registry files and event log files.
The following options apply to only virtual machine restores. These options appear on the Operation tab only when Recover VM is the restore method specified on the Restore Manager.
Power on VMware or Hyper-V VM after restore--Powers on the VM after the restore job is complete.
Default value: Enabled.
Overwrite VMware VM, if it exists--Lets you overwrite the VM, if the VM exists.
When you restore a VMware VM, Arcserve Backup detects the VMs that reside in the host system. If the VM exists in the host system, this option lets you overwrite the VM using the existing UUID of the VM.
Default value: Disabled.
Note: For Hyper-V VMs, the agent always overwrites the VM, if the VM exists in the Hyper-V host.
The option that follows affects Arcserve Replication scenarios:
Continue the restore job even when the scenario cannot be stopped--Lets you restore an Arcserve Replication scenario while you are backing up the scenario.
When you attempt to restore an Arcserve Replication scenario while you are backing up the scenario, by default, the restore job will fail. With this option specified, Arcserve Backup will complete the restore job while a backup is in progress.
Note: This option appears on the Global Options dialog only when you integrate Arcserve Backup with Arcserve Replication.
