Jobs that fail to complete successfully are automatically restarted based on the job restart configuration set in the Control Panel. This configuration can be changed at any time; but changes to this configuration affect all jobs run in the entire CommCell.
You can also override the default CommServe configuration for individual jobs by configuring retry settings when initiating the job. This configuration only applies to the specific job.
Note
Restore jobs for the Virtual Server Agent are restarted from the beginning.
