Specify Staging Groups Settings

Use the following procedure to modify staging group settings.

To specify staging groups settings

1. From the Backup Manager window, click the Staging Location tab.
2. From the groups list, right-click a group and select Set Disk-based Device Group Properties from the pop-up menu.

   The Disk-based Group Property Configuration dialog opens.

3. Select the desired group and click Enable Staging.
4. In the Max Threshold field, specify the maximum file system device threshold. From the drop-down list, choose MB, GB, or %.
5. Click the Purge data when the used disk space exceeds the Max Threshold option if you want Arcserve Backup to automatically purge migrated sessions from the FSD when the amount of used disk space is greater than the Max Threshold

   In the Purge to Threshold field, specify the amount of used space on a disk when Arcserve Backup stops purging the oldest migrated sessions from the disk.

6. When you enable disk staging, multiple streaming is enabled by default. If you:
   • Did not license the Enterprise Module, you can specify one or two streams.
   • Licensed the Enterprise Module, you can specify up to 32 simultaneous streams.
7. If the file system device supports SnapLock, and you want to WORM-protect the backed up data, click the Enable SnapLock option.
8. Click OK.

After you complete these steps, the newly created file system device group appears in the Groups directory tree on the Staging Location tab.

Note: Device groups identified as staging device groups do not appear in the Destination tab of the Backup Manager.
