[SOLVED] LOCAL vs CENTRALIZED Scheduled job
I need a clarification please:
when you create a new scheduled backup job (unamanaged storage, no vaults environemnt) you can choose to create it:
- directly from the AMS console (CENTRALIZED)
- you can 'Connect directly to the managed machine' and create a scheduled job from there. (LOCAL)
Question, I was not able to find this answer in the manual:
what is the actual difference between LOCAL and CENTRALIZED? Where does the actual config file gets stored?
Thanks

In case of centralized plan, the plan is stored in AMS DML database and is deployed to agents after creation and when it's modified. In case of local plan, it's stored on agent (in DML database too) only.
Thanks for the answer Fedor.
Since I haven't found any reference to this topic in the documentation, I would need to know what are the pro/cons of LOCAL/CENTRALIZED plans? Is one more preferable to the other?
Thanks
The main advantage of centralized plan - you can create one centralized plan, select a group (static or dynamic) of machines, and/or several machines and it will be automatically deployed to all of them. Using local plan you have to go on each machine individually and repeat the same steps.
Perfect, understood, thanks.
