Once installed, the agent is configured and is therefore able to manage the data on the client computer. However, you can change certain aspects of the configuration (e.g., client computer, backup sets, etc.) to manage the data in the manner that best suits your needs. Depending on the agent, you can view or change the agent configuration from the tabs that are available for that agent in the Properties dialog box.
You can enable or disable all operations for this CommCell object and all objects below it. For more information, see Activity Control.
For all agents that support the Index tab except Lotus Notes, Image Level, and Image Level ProxyHost, you can set default value for creating a new index on the backup schedule/job at the time of creation. For step-by-step instructions, see the "Create a New Index on a Full Backup" section on the How To page for this agent.
| Selecting this option at the agent level
only changes the default behavior (i.e., whether or not the Create new index
option is selected in the Advanced Backup Options by default). However,
the backup job will always use whatever option is selected in the Advanced Backup Options dialog box
when configuring the backup job/schedule.
For information about the Create new index option for a backup job, see Backup Data - Agent-Specific Backup Overviews, select your Agent from the list, and then refer to the "Create New Index" section. |
For all agents that support the Index tab except Image Level and Image Level ProxyHost, and with some caveats and considerations identified later in this section, you can convert a non-full backup to a full backup and thereby create a new index if the index is irretrievable. For Lotus Notes Database, this option pertains only to incremental backups. For Lotus Notes Document, this option pertains only to incremental and differential backups. For NDS, no backup type conversion is required because NDS supports only full backups.
See Convert to Full Backup on Indexing Failures for step-by-step instructions.
