Run a CA ARCserve Replication Scenario

CA ARCserve Replication creates and maintains backups in the context of user-defined scenarios. Before you back up a CA ARCserve Replication scenario, you must run the scenario so that it is added to the CA ARCserve Backup database.

To run a CA ARCserve Replication scenario

1. From the CA ARCserve Replication Manager interface, select the scenario to be backed up.
   • The scenarios and scenario status appear in the left pane.
   • The corresponding framework displaying directories (and subdirectories) and the files in those directories appear in the right pane.
   • The Events pane at the bottom displays information about significant events, warnings, and errors received from the host.

     

2. Click the Run scenario icon on the toolbar.

   The ARCserve Backup Server Connection dialog is displayed with the name of the server.

   

3. On the ARCserve Backup Server Connection dialog, enter the proper username and password to allow the CA ARCserve Backup server to communicate with the agent on the Replica server.

   The selected scenario is now added to the CA ARCserve Backup database and can be backed up.

   Note: You can perform backups only when CA ARCserve Replication is in the replication mode (green arrow icon next to scenario name).

   The CA ARCserve Backup Activity Log is updated to reflect any CA ARCserve Replication operations related to creating, deleting, or modifying scenario records in the CA ARCserve Backup database.
