B Appendix Command Line Utilities The BrightStor ARCserve Backup command line utilities let you directly control all operations that can be performed by a BrightStor ARCserve Backup server from the Command Prompt window. Using the command line utilities provides an alternative method of accessing almost all of the operations available from the BrightStor ARCserve Backup manager interface. The command line also offers the added benefit of creating batch files that can be automatically executed by other programs. To use the command line utilities, the complete BrightStor ARCserve Backup system must be installed on the server and you must create BrightStor ARCserve Backup equivalency to caroot. By default, BrightStor ARCserve Backup creates caroot equivalency for the administrator user on the primary domain server, secondary domain server, and all BrightStor ARCserve Backup domain member servers during setup. However, it does not create this equivalency for any other users on the secondary domain servers and all other domain member users. As a result, you must create this equivalency prior to using the command line utilities in a BrightStor ARCserve Backup domain. For more information about caroot and establishing equivalence, see ca_auth and Equivalence in this appendix. As an alternative to using the command line, a command you can enter can also be submitted using the Job Scheduler Wizard. Using the Job Scheduler Wizard provides these benefits: ■ The job appears in the Activity Log. ■ You can submit repeating jobs. For more information on submitting jobs using the Job Scheduler Wizard, see The Job Scheduler Wizard in the chapter "Customizing Your Jobs." Note: BrightStor ARCserve Backup command line utilities do not differentiate between WORM (Write Once Read Many) media and regular tapes. We recommend that you avoid using the command line with WORM media, or use it with extra caution. Command Line Utilities B-1
