Post Cleaning Verification (RDX Force Cleaner)

When the RDX Force Cleaner utility runs, verify the following:

• It creates a new log folder ClearRDXMediaLogs in the following location:

  C:\Program Files\Arcserve\Unified Data Protection\Engine\Logs
  

  Each time the utility runs, a log file is created with the current time stamp, using the format: YYYY-MM-DD_HH-MM-SS.txt

• It clears all the contents of the backup destination folder, except the following files:
  • BackupDestination.ico
  • NodeInfo
  • BackupDev.sig
  • desktop.ini

  Before clearing the content of the destination folder, the utility will temporarily move these files to the following folder:

  C:\Program Files\Arcserve\Unified Data Protection\Engine\Logs\ClearRDXMediaLogs
  

  After the backup destination has been cleared, the RDX Force Cleaner utility then moves these files back to the destination folder.

• After the RDX Force Cleaner utility runs, one of the following codes will be returned:
  • 0 - Deletion of all backup contents was successful.
  • -1 - Deletion of the backup destination content failed.
  • -2 - Cannot preserve some important files of the backup destination before clearing it.
  • -3 - Current backup destination is not accessible.

Note: The exit code corresponds to the completion status of the RDX Force Cleaner command. If the exit code is not zero (0), you should check the corresponding log files in the following folder for more detailed information about the reason for the failure of this cleanup attempt:

C:\Program Files\Arcserve\Unified Data Protection\Engine\Logs\ClearRDXMediaLogs
