Job Scripts Job Scripts A script is a job that you saved to a file. It contains the original source, destination, options, and schedule information for the job. It will also contain any filters you created to include and exclude files and directories. Creating a script has the following advantages: ■ You can re-use the same settings later. ■ You can copy your settings to a different Windows machine running BrightStor ARCserve Backup. ■ You can quickly resubmit regularly executed jobs after a job has been accidentally deleted. Saving Scripts You can save almost any type of job as a script. After you create the job, click Start. In the Submit Job dialog, click Save to save the job criteria in a script. After you save the script, click OK to submit the job to the queue. Using an Existing Script To use an existing script, go to the Job Queue tab of the Job Status Manager and click Add Job. The Add Job dialog opens. Choose the path and file name of an existing script, and then click Open. Job scripts use the.asx file extension. The job information for the previously saved script will be displayed in the Job Queue as a new job. For more information on how to create and use a script, see the online help. 5-28 Administrator Guide
