Edit and Push Back a File

From the DSM Explorer, you can remotely edit the files that you have configured for backup. CA ITCM provides a built-in editor to edit the backed up files. After editing the file, you can push back (save) the modified file to the computer.

To Edit and push-back the file to the computer

1. Navigate to Computers and Users, All Computers, Computer, Software, File Collection folder.

   The files configured for backup appear in the right pane.

2. Double-click the file you want to modify.

   The revisions for the selected file appear.

3. Right-click the revision that you want to edit and push back to the asset and select Edit and push back.

   Note: You can edit and push back any revision.

   The configuration file is opened in the DSM default editor. If you have chosen a different editor, the file is opened in that editor.

4. Edit the file and click OK.

   The Reboot Computer message appears.

   • Click Yes if changes to the configuration file require a reboot.
   • Click No if you do not want to reboot immediately.

Note: You must start the agent twice when you edit and push back the file from DSM Explorer. You must start the agent once to update the changes in the computer and a second time to report the changes to the manager.
