Recover Database Utility Each time you run a backup job, BrightStor ARCserve Backup records information in its databases about the machines, directories, and files that have been backed up, and the media that was used. This allows you to locate files whenever you need to restore them. This database information is backed up by default whenever you back up your BrightStor ARCserve Backup home directory. Alternatively, you can choose to backup the database files in every backup job regardless of whether the BrightStor ARCserve Backup home directory is selected for backup.
