RESTHOLD Record

When CA VM:Backup receives end-user restore requests, it normally processes them immediately. Use the RESTHOLD record to have CA VM:Backup put the requests on hold.

RESTHOLD

A CA VM:Backup operator can release these requests, through either an operator function screen or with the RELEASE command, when convenient (for example, during periods of low data center activity).

Important! Restore jobs started as special SFS or BFS restore jobs or received from an authorized client are always queued for immediate processing, regardless of the presence of RESTHOLD in the VMBACKUP CONFIG file.

Description

You need to specify the RESTHOLD record only once in the VMBACKUP CONFIG file.

Interactive Reconfiguration

You can dynamically edit the RESTHOLD record on the Define Job Processing Options screen.

The screen path is:

  1. System Administrator Main Menu
  2. Manage Configuration Options
  3. Define Job Processing Options
