Archive Manager

The Archive Manager lets you customize your archive jobs using filters, specifying options, and setting schedules.

You can use the Archive Manager to:

Set archive schedules and policies for selected Windows, UNIX/Linux, and MAC file system data.
Submit archive jobs.
Find data that is eligible for archiving and backing up, and then delete the archived data from its original location immediately.
Use filters to selectively exclude or include directories and files for an archive job.
Specify the File Size and File Age for an archive job.
Set retention time to the archived data for how long to keep data in the archive media.
Retrieve archive data from archive media with restore job.
View archive status through Dashboard reports. For more information on reports, see the Dashboard Guide.
View list files that were archived. Arcserve Backup records the list of files in a CSV file, and stores the CSV files in the following directory:
BAB_HOME\Archived Files
- The CSV file is backed up in the Arcserve Backup Database protection job.
- The CSV file is backed up in a backup job that includes the Catalog database, as specified in the Global options for the job.
- The CSV file is compressed on NTFS file systems.
