Enable/Disable Options

CA ARCserve Backup offers the following Enable/Disable options:

• Show Registry

  Displays the registry file in order to select for a backup.

• Show Leaf Nodes

  Displays all leaf nodes within the tree view. This means that files will be displayed under directories and that media will be displayed beneath drives.

• Auto Start All Engines

  Indicates that the appropriate CA ARCserve Backup engines will start automatically when a manager is used.

  Note: The Auto Start All Engines preference is enabled by default.

• Default Manager

  Lets you go directly to a specific manager when you open the Manager Console.

• Don't show the Server Selection dialog for Count/Copy/Purge job

  Lets you hide the Server Selection dialog when you submit a Count job, a Copy job, or a Purge job.

  When you submit one of these jobs, the Server Selection dialog opens to let you specify the server where you want to run the job. You can specify a primary server, stand-alone server, or member server for the job.

  With this option enabled, CA ARCserve Backup remembers the server that you want to use for the job and the Server Selection dialog does not open when you submit the job.

  Clear the check from the Don't show the Server Selection dialog for Count/Copy/Purge job option to allow the Select Server dialog to open when you submit a Count, Copy or Purge job.
