Command stats

I have a large # of servers to hit. Is there a way, via CMD, to query an ARCServe job for that jobs' target, schedule, and method of backup.

Thx

I see that today is your first day on Tek-Tips.
Welcome to the forum for Arcserve.
There are FAQs for installation, patching, troubleshooting slow backups and Exchange agent installation.
There is a command line interface for Arcserve 2000. It is supported only through CA. You must call your CA rep and make a case to get the command line interface and documentation.
There is also a built-in and documented facility for limited job management from the command prompt:

The new version of Arcserve, Brightstor EB (formerly Cheetah), has an EXTENSIVE command line interface.

I'd have to admit, the support for ARCServe leaves a bit to be desired. It wasn't even an 800 #. Anyhow, I did call and they said it could be done. I've found the files were the info is stored, but a bit of it is code. Do you know if the ARC2K CMD can be used on older ARC?

Thx

I'm sorry, ARCServe said that it could NOT be done...

I do not believe you can use the AS2K cmd line with any other version. Jim P. Ames

I was able to parse a file with a hex editor to find the tag bytes. Does anyone know of a way to parse a file w/ a hex editor in a batch file?
