Agent Status on a Windows Server

The <aof> Status button is enabled only if you configure <aof> to back up open files on the server. This button is disabled when you configure <aof> to back up open files using Microsoft VSS.

To view the <aof> Status on a Windows server

1. Open the Backup Manager.
2. Select a computer in the Source tab.
3. Right-click the computer that has Windows Engine installed and select View Agent for Open Files Status from the pop-up menu.

   The BAOF Status for Server (name) dialog opens.

   You can also select this option from the Additional Information pane on the Backup Manager.

   Note: The option is enabled only if the <aof> Console and Arcserve Backup Manager are installed on the same computer.

To access the BAOF Status for Server (name) dialog from the console, select a server from the File Servers list, and then click Status.
