When a backup job is synchronized, the Agent checks which safesets for the job are online and available for restore.
A job is synchronized automatically when you restore data from the job. You can also synchronize a job manually at any time. A manual synchronization is recommended or required in the following cases:
•Before running backup jobs on reregistered computers. See Restore data to a replacement computer.
•Before restoring data from jobs that are backed up to a Satellite vault and replicated to the cloud or another vault.
•To rebuild a delta (.dta) file for a job. If an error message in a log file says that the delta mapping file is corrupt, delete the delta (.dta) file from the job folder on the protected computer and then synchronize the job to rebuild the delta file.
To synchronize a job:
1. On the navigation bar, click Computers.
The Computers page shows registered computers.
2. Find the computer with the job that you want to synchronize. Expand its view by clicking its row.
3. Click the Jobs tab.
4. Find the job that you want to synchronize, and click Synchronize in its Select Action menu.
The Process Details dialog box shows the backup progress, and indicates when the backup is completed. Other recent job processes might also be listed in the dialog box. See View current process information for a job.
5. If you want to stop the backup, click Stop.
To close the Process Details dialog box, click Close.
