Smart Restore

CA ARCserve Backup provides a transparent Smart Restore feature that can increase the overall success rate of your restore operations. If during the restore process, a media or drive error occurs, CA ARCserve Backup internally searches and finds the alternate media and starts restoring the data from the alternate media.

For example, if during a restore job, the restore source media jams and disables the library. CA ARCserve Backup would then automatically search for duplicates of the backup session. If a duplicate of the session exists, regardless of whether it exists on a file system device or another media, the restore operation continues without user intervention.

Note: If a second media error occurs during the restore job, the job will fail.
