Introduction Introduction The Arcserve UDP appliance is the first complete and most cost-effective data pro- tection appliance, featuring Assured Recovery™. Each Arcserve UDP appliance is a self-contained, "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...
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 UDP Appli- ance.
Windows Servers. 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 UDP Appli- ance lets you back up the destination of Arcserve UDP to a tape. You can download the full installation package of Arcserve Backup from Arcserve website to install other components.
Safety Precautions For your safety, please read and follow all instructions before attempting to unpack, connect, install, power on, or operate an Arcserve UDP appliance. Failure to adhere to the safety precautions can result in personal injury, equipment dam- age, or malfunction.
