Rerun an Existing Backup Job

Rerun the backup job to take another backup of the specified nodes. A recovery point is created after each successful backup. If you have already backed up a node, you do not have to create another backup job to back up that node again. All of the previous jobs are listed in the Job Status tab in the Status pane.

When you rerun a backup job, specify the type of job that you want to rerun.

    Note: If you update any information in the Backup Destination page of the Backup Wizard before rerunning a job, the job type automatically changes to Full Backup.

Follow these steps:

  1. Enter the URL of Arcserve Unified Data Protection Agent for Linux in a web browser to open the user interface.

    Note: During the installation of Arcserve Unified Data Protection Agent for Linux, you received the URL to access and manage the server.

  2. Click the Job Status tab, and then select the job that you want to run.
  3. Verify that the status of the selected job is Done or Ready.

    Done implies that the job is not scheduled and Ready implies that the job is scheduled.

  4. Perform one of the following steps:
    • To run the job without any changes, do the following:
      1. Click Run Now from the Job menu.

        The Run backup job now dialog opens.

      2. Select the Backup Type.
      3. Select an option from the Run job for drop-down list:

        Specifies that the backup job runs for only the selected node.

        All nodes protected by the selected job

        Specifies that the backup job runs for all the nodes protected by the selected job.

      4. Click OK.

      The Run backup job now dialog closes. The status of the job changes to Active in the Job Status tab and the same job runs again.

    • To modify the job before you run the job, follow these steps:
      1. Select a job, and then click Modify.

        The Run backup job now dialog opens.

      2. Update the required field in the Backup Wizard
      3. Click Submit.

        The job runs again depending on the job schedule.

The backup job successfully reruns.
