Backing Up BrightStor ARCserve Backup for Laptops & Desktops Data Managing Migrated Files To help manage the space on backup servers, BrightStor ARCserve Backup for Laptops & Desktops administrators have the option of migrating old backup data to a BrightStor ARCserve Backup server. The administrator defines criteria for old backup data-such as size and the date the file was last modified-on the BrightStor ARCserve Backup for Laptops & Desktops server. Migrating old backup data helps conserve space on the BrightStor ARCserve Backup for Laptops & Desktops server and provides a safe way to archive these files. Over time, however, some of these file can become obsolete or expired. This can happen when: ■ The BrightStor ARCserve Backup for Laptops & Desktops server restores the file to its local storage area, returning the file to the BrightStor ARCserve Backup for Laptops & Desktops server. ■ The BrightStor ARCserve Backup for Laptops & Desktops server submits a newer version of a file; older versions of the file with the same name on the tape become obsolete and can no longer be used. ■ The BrightStor ARCserve Backup for Laptops & Desktops client to whom the files belong is completely deleted from the server storage area. In all cases, these files are marked as "expired" in the BrightStor ARCserve Backup database. This expiration of files results in a situation in which parts of the data stored on the BrightStor ARCserve Backup for Laptops & Desktops-dedicated tape are no longer needed, and the tape can be reused and placed in the BrightStor ARCserve Backup scratch set. The following are guidelines for reusing such BrightStor ARCserve Backup media: ■ If all files on a tape are no longer being used, the tape can be reused. ■ If there are only a few files on the tape, the BrightStor ARCserve Backup administrator can query the files, submit a restore, and free up the tape. Note: Data Growth Restores cannot be performed on the session level. 3-32 Administrator Guide
