A scrollbar is provided to the right to scroll up and down the messages. This screen may only be displayed
if the Backup Administrator application is running. When you

Close

this window, the messages will be

removed from the log and cannot be displayed again.

If a job completes successfully, or if it fails after having begun the backup, a

Label

button will appear within

the text of the message. By pressing this button, the media label will be displayed, which provides a
summary of the contents of the media, both for the current job and any prior jobs, if any. Refer to the

Backup Labels

section for a sample and information on the label contents.

This window appears each time a new message is posted. Once the window is closed using the

Cancel

button

, it will not be possible to view the previous message contents.

Manipulating Backup Jobs

To change the status of a job in the queue, you must select the queue and job on the

Job Queue Display

screen. The

action buttons

at the bottom of the screen under the

Queue Actions

and

Active Job

headings then

apply to the selected jobs. The following functions may be performed:

Kill a Running Job

Jobs that are currently running may be killed, or canceled, by selecting the

Kill Job

button from the Main

Screen when the

Job Queues

are displayed. A signal is sent to the job telling it to terminate. Depending on

the current backup operation being performed, this may take a little time. Once the job has been killed, a
message will appear on the

Job Message Screen

indicating that the backup has been terminated.

A backup job which was killed may have already created a Backup Label. If so, the label will indicate any
client backups that have already completed, and will show the backup job status as failed. If no backup
completed, you may want to remove the label at this time. To do so, display the label either by selecting the

Label

button in the

Job Message Screen

or the

Backup Status Screen

.

Place a Job on Hold

A job which is currently in the pending state may be placed on hold by pressing the

Hold Job

button from

the Main Screen when the

Job Queues

are displayed. When a job is placed on hold, it will not run when any

prior backups complete, but will remain in the queue waiting to be manually started.
