Job Backup Status Report

The Job Backup Status Report lists the most recent status results of all backup jobs (Full, Synthetic Full, Incremental, and Differential) that were initiated for the specified servers during the last specified number of days.

By default, Arcserve Backup (starting with r15) maintains job records for 180 days. If you want Dashboard to display job records for a different time period, you can add a registry key and set the desired day range. You can define the job pruning interval by adding a new registry key as follows:

To configure the job pruning time interval setting in the Registry Editor:

1. Open the Registry Editor.
2. Expand the tree in the browser of the Registry Editor by selecting the following:

   HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ComputerAssociates\CA ARCServe Backup\Base\Database\

3. Add a new DWORD Value and name it "JobPruningDays"
4. Double-click the JobPruningDays key to open the Edit DWORD Value dialog. You can now modify the DWORD setting and set a specific time interval to prune job records from Arcserve Backup database.
5. When you finish configuring the JobPruningDays key for the SRM probe, close the Registry Editor.
