Online and Offline Cloud-Based Device

You can set cloud-based devices as offline or online from the Device Manager by right-clicking on the drive and selecting offline or online, depending on the current state of the drive.

This capability can be useful for marking defective devices as offline, which prevents Arcserve Backup from using the cloud-based device until it is repaired and in an online status.

To online and offline cloud-based devices

1. Open the Device Manager and browse to the server connected to the library containing the cloud-based device that you want to status as online or offline.
2. Expand the library, right-click the cloud-based device, and select Online or Offline from the pop-up menu.

   The status changes to offline or online.

   Note: Offline state appears disabled, when selected.
