Job Archive Status Report

The Job Archive Status Report lists the most recent status results of all archive jobs that were initiated for the specified servers during the last specified number of days.

When an archive job has completed, a CSV file is generated and saved with the node name under the directory BAB_HOME\Archived Files on the backup server. CSV files will not be pruned by Arcserve Backup and will not be deleted if Arcserve Backup is uninstalled.

By default, Arcserve Backup r16 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, do the following:

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, close the Registry Editor.
