Using Arcserve UDP Agent (Linux) › How to Manage the Backup Server Settings › Manage the Recovery Sets

Manage the Recovery Sets

Managing the recovery sets include deleting the recovery sets. You should manage your recovery sets regularly so that you are aware of the available free space. You can plan the storage of the recovery sets accordingly. There are two ways to manage the recovery sets:

• Method 1: Manage using a dedicated Backup storage. In this method the backup storage manages the recovery sets every 15 minutes. You can manage only those backup storages that the Backup Server can access. If you choose source local as the backup destination, you have to share the local folder.
• Method 2: Manage using a Backup Job. In this method the backup job manages the recovery sets. The recovery sets are managed after the backup job is over. You can manage the recovery sets that are stored in source local.

Follow these steps:

1. Log into the Backup Server as a root user.
2. Open the server.cfg file.

   /opt/CA/d2dserver/configfiles/server.cfg
   

   Note: If the file is not present, create the server.cfg file.

3. Add the following line in the server.cfg file and save the file:

   manage_recoveryset_local=0 or 1
   

   The value 0 indicates that the file uses Method 1.

   The value 1 indicates that the file uses Method 2.

4. Restart the Backup Server.

The recovery sets are managed from the command line of the Backup Server.
