The following sections provide general information to consider when using BrightStor ARCserve Backup.
The default file size limit for HP-UX operating systems is 2 GB of data. The absence of large file support prevents file system devices on HP-UX file systems from storing backups that exceed 2 GB and causes backups to these file system devices to fail.
To enable large backups to a file system device, you must enable large file support on the HP-UX file system hosting the file system device. Enable this support before specifying the file system devices as destinations in your BrightStor ARCserve Backup environment.
For information about enabling large file support on HP-UX operating systems, see the documentation for the HP-UX operating system.

BrightStor ARCserve Backup reports should properly display content.
Updated guides will be available at http://ca.com/support.
The following section provides information about items that have not yet been changed in the product documentation, but that affect the information in that documentation:
-regenerate <adapter #> <scsi ID> <lun> <tape name> [ <random ID> <mm/dd/yyyy> ]
This option is for use with file system devices. It lets you regenerate a new volume header with a new name that you specify.
After you generate a new volume header, you can merge all of the sessions on the file system device into the BrightStor ARCserve Backup database. This capability lets you initiate restore operations from the file system device using the merged session data.
If you know the original tape name (<tapename>) and its random ID (<randomID>), you can reuse them such that the session records in the BrightStor ARCserve Backup database can reconnect to the volume without having to merge the session records again.
Use the <mm/dd/yyyy> parameter to specify the last backup date of SnapLocked data on the volume.
You can set the size of the Ingresd.log file in the agent.cfg file. To do so, enter one of the following variables to the agent.cfg file:
CA_ENV_LOG_MAX_SIZE: The maximum log size when writing normal execution messages. Enter an integer value representing the number of bytes of the file. The default value is 20 MB.
CA_ENV_DBGLOG_MAX_SIZE: The maximum log size when writing debug level messages. Enter an integer value representing the number of bytes of the file. The default value is 200 MB.
The Restoring Data chapter of the Administrator Guide states that BrightStor ARCserve Backup provides three methods to select the files to restore. The subsequent section should provide the following information about Restore by File System:
The Restore by File System view displays only the last instance of a backup. To view and access all other instances, select the object that you want to restore and click the Version History button. If there are multiple partial backups of the same drive, the Restore by File System view displays only the last backup. However, if there is a full volume backup of the drive available, the last full backup is displayed, instead of the last partial backup.
For example, if a drive contains two directories that were backed up on April 21 and April 28, and if a full backup of the drive was performed on April 1, only the April 1 backup appears in the Restore Manager.
To restore the April 28 instance of one of the directories, select the directory in the Restore by File System view and click Version History. From the Version History dialog, select the April 28 instance and click Select.
The Restore by File System view uses the BrightStor ARCserve Backup database; if the database engine is stopped, this method is not available.

Each PDF guide in a documentation set has a unique Document ID (DID) that appears on the title page of the guide. The DID uses the first six characters to identify the guide, a hyphen, then two characters at the end to identify the edition and language in which it is written. For example, D01193-1E identifies the first edition of the English version of the BrightStor ARCserve Backup for UNIX Release Summary. When the second edition of this guide is published, the DID is incremented to D01193-2E. The DID is used without the hyphen for the .PDF file on the product media and on SupportConnect as shown in Filename column of the following table.
