Pause Data Migration

The Pause Data Migration option lets you temporarily stop the process of migrating data from the FSD to its final destination media.

Example: When You Should Pause Data Migration

You need to take a tape library offline to perform maintenance on the library. You can pause the data migration process, complete the maintenance tasks, bring the library back online, and then restart the migration process.

To pause data migration

1. From the Staging Groups tree on the Staging Location tab, select the group that you want to pause.
2. Right-click the group name and select Configure Disk-based Groups from the pop-up menu.

   The Disk-based Group Property Configuration dialog opens.

3. Select the group in the groups list.

   Click Pause Data Migration.

   Click OK.

   Arcserve Backup pauses the migration.

Note: To restart the data migration operation, repeat the above steps and clear the checkmark from Pause data migration.
