How to Set Up the Arcserve Appliance
After the appliance restarts with the new hostname, the Unified Data Protection
wizard opens. The wizard lets you create a basic plan to schedule backups. The plan
lets you define the nodes that you want to protect and schedule when to run
backups. The backup destination is the appliance Server.
Note: All the steps on the Arcserve Appliance Configuartion wizard are optional,
you can skip and directly open the UDP console and create plans.
Follow these steps:
1. Log into the Arcserve UDP console.
The Unified Data Protection wizard first opens and the Arcserve Appliance
Management dialog appears. You can manage the UDP console either as a
stand-alone instance or you can remotely manage from another UDP console.
The remote console management function is useful when you are managing
multiple UDP consoles.
2. Select whether you want to manage the appliance locally (default) or from
another UDP console. If the appliance is managed from another UDP console,
then specify the UDP console URL, username, and password.
3. Click Next.
The Data Stores dialog opens. A data store is a physical storage area on the
appliance and is used as the destination for your backups.
By default, Arcserve UDP creates a data store called <hostname>_data_store.
This data store is deduplication and encryption enabled. For more information
about deduplication and encryption, see
Solutions Guide.
