Scheduling Scheduling All jobs can all be scheduled using the Schedule options available in each Manager. Jobs can be submitted with a repeat method. For information about repeat methods, see Rotation Schemes or Custom Schedule in this chapter. If you select the Run Job Now option when your storage device is busy, BrightStor ARCserve Backup reports that the storage device is busy and the job is not submitted to the Job Queue. You should schedule your job, keeping the current date and time. This way, when BrightStor ARCserve Backup discovers that the storage device is busy, it automatically retries the job until the drive becomes free. You should select the Run Job Now option when: ■ The job you are submitting is a one time only job that you want executed immediately. ■ You want to monitor the job as it runs. You should schedule your job when: ■ You are submitting a single occurrence job but and you want it to run at a specific time. ■ You are submitting a single occurrence job, but you do not want to run it now. You want to submit the job on Hold, and start it manually at a later time. ■ You are submitting a job that should run regularly. This is especially useful for setting up a media rotation scheme for your network. ■ Your storage device is busy and you want to run a backup job as soon as the drive is free. To do this, schedule your backup job with the current date and time. For details on how to specify a scheduling option, see the online help. 5-10 Administrator Guide
