Dynamic and Explicit Job Packaging
Chapter 3: Backing Up Microsoft SQL Server Databases 39
Dynamic Job Packaging
If you mark a database instance for dynamic job packaging when defining a
backup job, CA ARCserve Backup automatically selects, at the time the backup
job runs, all the components of the object (for example, child volumes and files)
for backup.
For example, if you choose to back up an entire server and mark the server for
dynamic job packaging and you change the volumes on the server, when you run
the next backup job, the volumes on the server at the time of the backup are the
volumes that are backed up. Any change that you make on the server marked for
dynamic job packaging is included in the next backup.
Note:
If you select the whole SQL Server instance for backup and then select
backup options for individual databases, the individual database backup options
are ignored. Only when you select the individual databases, selected
per-database options are packaged and retained when you want to modify the
job.
Important!
When you mark a parent object for dynamic job packaging, all of its
associated (or child) objects are also marked for dynamic job packaging and are
selected for backup. Child objects of an object marked for dynamic packaging
lose any separate options you have assigned them when the job is submitted.
