ca_restore - Run Job Arguments

The ca_restore command provides run job arguments to allow you to specify the run job methods for your restore job. The ca_restore run job options allow you to submit the job to be run immediately, or to submit the job on Hold, or to schedule the job for a later date and time. The method you choose determines when your restore jobs are run.

Important! To ensure that all jobs start at the scheduled time, you must synchronize the system time of the Member Servers with the system time of the corresponding Primary Server. Use the Windows Time Service to synchronize the time on all ARCserve servers in your domain.

The ca_restore command line utility supports the following run job arguments:

ca_restore
[-at <hh:mm>]
[-on <mm/dd/yy[yy]>]
[-hold|-runjobnow]
[-description <description string>]

-at <hh:mm>

Specifies the execution time of the restore job.

Note: All scheduled times for Arcserve Backup jobs are based upon the time zone where the Arcserve Backup server is located. If your agent machine is located in a different time zone than the Arcserve Backup server, you will need to calculate the equivalent local time that you want the job to be run.

-on <mm/dd/yy[yy]>

Specifies the execution date of the restore job.

-hold

Submits the restore job on hold.

Cannot be used with -runjobnow.

-runjobnow

Submits and execute the restore job immediately.

Cannot be used with -hold.

-description <description string>

Adds comments to the job. You must use double quotes " " to enclose the string and handle blank spaces.
