Compare Utility

Compare the contents of a media session to files on a machine. Results of the Compare job can be seen in the Job Queue. You could use this option after a backup to verify that the backup copied all of the files to media without error.

Arcserve Backup provides several types of advanced compare options:

• Backup Media--Specify media options for the job.
• Operation--Specify whether to enable database recording.
• Pre/Post--Run commands or batch files before or after the job.
• Job Log--Determine the level of detail you want recorded in the Job Queue Log.
• Alert--Send messages about events in your operation.
