Default Time Periods

Both CATSEARCH and VOLSEARCH jobs specify a time period. For CATSEARCH jobs, CA VM:Backup searches catalogs created in the specified time period. For details on how CATSEARCH jobs handle time periods, see CATSEARCH Restore Jobs. For VOLSEARCH jobs, CA VM:Backup uses the time period to verify that the tape you specified as the starting input volume is the correct tape. For details on how VOLSEARCH jobs handle time periods, see VOLSEARCH Restore Jobs.

The following sections describe the default time periods for requests submitted through the Perform Users Functions screens, the Submit Special SFS/BFS Restores screens, and job template files, and explain how to change the defaults.
