Running a job immediately

You can use the Run Now method run an existing job immediately.

1
In the Navigation pane, click Job Status or Manage Job Definitions.

If a backup job includes Phase 2 jobs, selecting Phase 1 runs both Phase 1 and Phase 2 jobs. Phase 1 runs immediately, and when it completes successfully, Phase 2 is scheduled to run as per the job definition.

Aborting a job

You can cancel an active job from the Job Status page.

Stopping a job

The Plug-in for FileSystem lets you stop a job at any point and resume it later from the same point. To have this ability, you must configure the job as restartable.

For more information about restartable jobs, see the Quest NetVault Plug-in for FileSystem User’s Guide.

When you stop the job, the plug-in generates an index for all items that have been processed up to that point and writes the index to the backup media and NetVault Database. The job status is then set to Job Stopped. If the plug-in is writing a large backup index, the jobs status continues to be reported as “Writing to Media: Storing Backup Index” until the index is written. When you restart the job later, the plug-in runs an Incremental Backup job to back up the remaining files and folders.

NOTE: The Stop and Restart methods do not work if you select multiple jobs simultaneously.

Restarting a job

The Restart method lets you resume a backup from the point the job was stopped. To have this ability, you must configure the job as restartable.

The following plug-ins support this feature:

Plug-in for FileSystem: The Plug-in for FileSystem allows you to stop a backup job at any point and resume it later from the same point. To have this ability, you must configure the backup option Enable Restartable Backup for the job. For more information about this option, see the Quest NetVault Plug-in for FileSystem User’s Guide. When you stop the job, the plug-in generates an index for all items that have been processed up to that point and sets the job status to Job Stopped. When you restart the job later, the plug-in runs an Incremental Backup job to back up the remaining files and folders.
Plug-in for VMware: The Plug-in for VMware allows you to restart a job to back up only those virtual machines that failed previously. To have this ability, you must configure the backup option Enable Restartable backups for the job. For more information about this option, see the Quest NetVault Plug-in for VMware User’s Guide. When a restartable backup completes with some failed virtual machines, the plug-in generates an index for the completed virtual machines and sets the job status to Job Stopped. When you restart a job, the plug-in runs an Incremental Backup job to back up the failed virtual machines.
NOTE: The Restart method does not work if you select multiple jobs simultaneously.
