8.11 Salvaging a Deleted Job

You can salvage a deleted job to restore the job and to allow users to access its archived file versions. You can salvage only one job at a time. You cannot salvage a deleted job if the source volume it archived is currently the source volume for an existing job on the archive versioning server.

In iManager, expand Archive Versioning, then click Archive Jobs.
Select the archive server you want to manage, then wait for the page to refresh.

For information, see Section 7.2, Configuring Archive Volume.
Select the Deleted Jobs tab.
In the Deleted Jobs Report, select the Job check box next to the job you want to salvage, then click Salvage.

If multiple deleted jobs have the same job name, they are distinguishable by their deleted dates, source volumes, and source servers.
Specify a name for the salvaged job that is unique among the non-deleted jobs on the archive server.

Click OK.

Salvaging a deleted job restores the job. The following table describes the state of the job after it is salvaged, given the job’s state when it was deleted.
