BKPRESET – Reset the Backup Mission Status

The BKPRESET utility resets the pending backup or migration missions, and the backup and migration status of the related reports.

This utility affects backup or migration missions in IN PROCESS status, and resets them to ENDED status, but it does not affect the missions that have reached the stage of checking the results of their respective backup or migration jobs. It also resets the status of the reports affected by these missions to WAITING FOR BACKUP/MIGRATION. In addition, it resets the status of all the reports affected by those pending backup or migration missions that have already left the Active Mission File.

If the status of several pending missions, all which have the same name, require resetting, only one of these missions is reset. To reset the remaining missions with the same name, the utility must be invoked repeatedly, once for each mission.

This utility can be invoked in test mode. In this case, it does not change the Control-D repository, and only a simulation report is generated.

Note: This utility does not reset the status of reports that have been successfully migrated or backed up.
