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.
Network File System (NFS) share or in the Common Internet File System (CIFS) share, in the backup source node. The latest version of Arcserve Unified Data Protection Agent for Linux is pre- installed in a virtual machine within the appliance. This virtual machine becomes the Linux Backup Server.
Files (x86)\Arcserve" on your computer after you mount and install using the InstallASBU.iso file. The components installed in the Arcserve Appliance lets you back up the destination of Arcserve UDP to a tape. For more information about sup- ported operating systems, see Compatibility Matrix.
Compatibility Matrix. Arcserve Continuous Availability 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.
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.
