Introduction Introduction Arcserve Appliance is the first complete and most cost-effective data protection appliance, featuring Assured Recovery™. Each Arcserve Appliance is a self-con- tained, "set and forget" backup and recovery solution. Architected with cloud-native capabilities, its unmatched ease of deployment and usability combine with a broad set of features such as global source-based deduplication, multi-site replication, tape support, and automated data recovery capabilities. The Arcserve Appliance...
Introduction Arcserve Unified Data Protection The Arcserve UDP software is a comprehensive solution to protect complex IT envir- onments. The solution protects your data residing in various types of nodes such as Windows, Linux, and virtual machines on VMware ESX Servers or Microsoft Hyper- V Servers.
Common Internet File System (CIFS) share, in the backup source node. The latest version of Arcserve UDP Agent (Linux) is preinstalled in a virtual machine within the appliance. This virtual machine becomes the Linux Backup Server. Arc- serve UDP Agent (Linux) is installed at the default installation path in the Arcserve Appliance.
Compatibility Matrix. Arcserve RHA lets you replicate data to a local or remote Server, helping you to recover that data if you face a Server crash or site disaster. You may switch your users to the replica Server manually or automatically if you have licensed High Availability.
Arcserve Backup is installed at "C:\Program Files (x86)\Arcserve" on your computer after you run InstallASBU.bat. The components installed in the Arcserve Appliance lets you back up the destination of Arcserve UDP to a tape. For more information about supported operating systems, see Compatibility Matrix.
Safety Precautions For your safety, please read and follow all instructions before attempting to unpack, connect, install, power on, or operate an Arcserve Appliance. Failure to adhere to the safety precautions can result in personal injury, equipment damage, or malfunction.
