Post Cleaning Verification (RDX Cleaner)

When the RDX 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 Cleaner utility then moves these files back to the destination folder.

• After the RDX Cleaner utility runs, one of the following codes will be returned:
  • 0 - If one of the following occurs:
    • If the backup destination has the latest Full Backup, then its contents will not be cleared and the backup will be run as submitted.
    • If the backup destination does not have the latest Full Backup, then the content of this destination will be cleared and if the content is deleted successfully a "0" is returned. Because all the content in this destination has been deleted, this backup job will automatically be converted to a Full Backup, regardless of which type was submitted.
  • -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 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
