Job
Definition
A job is a backup task that archives the live data of a device (program files, configuration, settings, etc.). Upload job and backup job refer to the same feature but emphasize different aspects of the procedure: upload focuses on data transfer, while backup emphasizes data archival.
Characteristics
- A job can be executed manually or automatically at any time according to a schedule specified by the user.
- With octoplant, jobs can be created for a large number of devices for upload and comparison purposes.
- Jobs for some devices require additional software to be installed on the octoplant server. If the required software cannot be installed on the computer on which the octoplant server applications are running, you can enable the octoplant system to access the software using agents. To do this, the agents must be installed on the computer on which the required software is installed. The computer must be accessible via the network. You also need access rights to the computer, the software and the directories/files.
