189 BackBox H4.00 User Manual
The backup script is normally automated after each backup and if enabled, the
script controller will automatically retry failed backups. Files marked as not
backed up are usually either still being backed up or in the script controller input
queue.
This button is for re-submitting manually the backup scripts that have failed for
reason unrelated to the software like communication or power failures. Notice
that the Script controller (the script contains the BBBACKUP command) contains
its own retry mechanism; in this case the manual retry is required only after the
controller stops retrying, such as after a VTC reboot.
When the “Storage Route” is set for a specific VTC, the scripts will be submitted
only to this VTC.
When the “Storage Route” is set for “1
st
available VTC” the scripts will be
distributed depending on preferences according the volume information available
in the domain:
- First, the VTC which contains the Windows files of the volume will be
preferred. The VTC is supposed to contain the volume if the last known
file location has an UNC syntax, such as \\svr1\share1, and the server
name part is equal to the VTC tcpip address or to the last known VTC
hostname.
- Second, the VTC who has written the Windows files is preferred.
- In the preferred VTC is not reachable by TCPIP, does not contain the
backup script, or is not able to submit the script, another route will be
tried.
Move Files from Spare pool: This link is shown there are some files in the
Spare pool.
This button asks for confirmation, then submits to the VTC specified in “Storage
Route”, a task for moving all files corresponding to virtual volumes of the Data
Store, from the Spare pool to the regular Storage pool.
The moving task in the VTC reports its startup and end in EMS, and potential
errors.

Note if a restore script is configured: it is assumed the files will be backed up
again by the Enterprise Backup when the files will be discovered in the
new disk location. The current BackBox version does not submit backup
script after a Move from Spare; if the Data Store is configured for backups
by script, the user has to manually initiate the backup of the moved file.
Because of this assumption, the last known location of the Index and data
files is updated in the BackPak catalog for the moved volumes. If there is
no new backup, any future restore script will fail because the Enterprise
