No there is no special backup of jobsdb , you dont need a backup of this anyways! Why do you think you want a backup of the jobsdb ?

Hi Prashanna,

No, the retention indicates the amount of hours (from NW 8.x) that the information about the Jobs will be retained.

Jobsdb is not backed up.

Thank you,

Carlos

Try to mark the thread as answered whenever possible.

jobsdb, as the name suggests is a temporary database which hold the state and information of all the currently running and recently completed jobs. This where the monitoring tab on the NMC pulls the information as to the success, failure or progress of the backups. The retention setting on the servers properties is to set a purging of this database as we dont want it to grow too large with old data. This is no way helpful to you in recovering a backup database as for that ll you need is the nsrdb and mm.

Also, you are not enabling jobsdb under server properties. You are enabling purging of jobsdb, as jobsdb is an integral part of the a running networker server. If you rename it a new folder will be created.

Thanks

If backup failed, group properties restart window will collect the information based on this?

In Nw server configuration by default retention of Jobsdb is enabled so, I suspect any backup is configured for it?

If the backup of JOBSDB is not required, what is the purpose of enabling the Jobsdb under server properties?

Sure
