Using the Backup Wizard in SAS Management Console

Run a Backup or a Restore Job That Was Created by the Wizard

To use SAS Management Console to run a backup or restore job that was created by the wizard:

After you start the job, you might be prompted for credentials to log on to the SAS Application Server. For information about the required credentials, see Ensure Appropriate User Credentials.

If the job completes successfully, the following message is displayed:

Job completed without errors

If the job that you executed is a backup job, then the following items should appear in the backup destination directory:

When the job is completed, the current date is recorded in the Last Run Date field on the Job tab of the job definition's properties. In addition, metadata objects for the backup job and the corresponding restore job are placed in the Administration subfolder of the System folder in the SAS Folders tree.

Note:   The Last Run Date is not updated when the job is executed by a scheduling system.  [cautionend]

If the job does not complete successfully, a message is displayed indicating that errors occurred. For details about the errors, open the file name-of-backup-job.log in the backup destination directory.
