When you copy a recovery point, you can select the option to Divide into smaller

files for archiving. For example, if you plan to copy a recovery point to a CD at a

later time, specify a file size of 700 MB or less.

How to test the scheduling feature without actually creating a schedule

To test the scheduling of a backup job, stop the Backup Exec System Recovery

service in the Microsoft Services console. Change the date forward on the computer

to a time when you would like the scheduled recovery point to occur, and then

restart the Backup Exec System Recovery service. If the date on the computer is

changed while the Backup Exec System Recovery service is running, the change

will not be noticed by the agent.

Note: If you add a new partition to the hard drive, it may take several seconds

before the new partition appears as a drive in Backup Exec System Recovery.

Backup Exec System Recovery agent and Windows

Services

The Backup Exec System Recovery agent runs as a service rather than as a desktop

application. Running the agent as a service allows scheduled backups to run even

if no one or a user with insufficient rights is logged on to the computer.

Because the agent runs as a service, you can use the Services tool in Windows if

you need to start or stop the service, configure the password, or troubleshoot the

agent. If the agent does not start on a computer, you will encounter problems

when you create and restore recovery points.

You can use the Services tool, to manage the agent in the following ways:

See “Starting, stopping, or restarting the agent service ”

on page 213.

Start, stop, or turn off the

agent on local and remote

computers

See “Adding users who can back up your computer ”

on page 78.

Configure the user name and

password that is used by the

agent

For example, you can restart the agent automatically or

restart the computer.

See “Setting up recovery actions when the agent fails to

start” on page 214.

Set up recovery actions to

take place if the agent fails

to start
