When to Process End-User Restore Requests

CA VM:Backup can process end-user restore requests when they are received or it can hold those requests to be processed later. If your users normally submit many restore requests, you can have CA VM:Backup hold the requests so that you can submit them during periods of low data center activity or when the tape operators are available to mount the required tapes.

To specify when you want CA VM:Backup to process end-user restore requests, select either SUBMIT or HOLD in response to the following statement on the Define Job Processing Options screen:

Hold restore requests or submit them immediately:

SUBMIT

CA VM:Backup processes end-user restore requests immediately.

HOLD

CA VM:Backup holds end-user requests for later processing.

Note: This option applies to end-user restore requests. Jobs received from CA VM:Archiver and administrative SFS restores are always queued for immediate processing.

Note: For information about updating the VMBACKUP CONFIG file to configure this option, see the "RESTHOLD Record" section in the System Programmer Reference Guide.
