Auto Discovery or Manual Addition of Client Agents

Auto Discover Client Agents on a Windows Server or a NetWare Server

After installing BrightStor ARCserve Backup and its various client agents, you
must add and configure each client agent machine in your network to the
backup server. This chapter discusses the procedures for adding and
configuring client agents.
If you have BrightStor ARCserve Backup installed on a Windows server or
NetWare server that uses the Windows manager interface, you can
automatically discover client agents in your network using Auto Discovery or
you can add client agents manually. If you have BrightStor ARCserve Backup
installed on a UNIX or Linux server, you must add client agents manually. The
following sections include information on each of these methods.
If you have BrightStor ARCserve Backup installed on a Windows server or a
NetWare server that uses the Windows manager interface, you can use Auto
Discovery to automatically detect Windows, UNIX, Linux, and Mac OS X client
agents installed and running in your network. To use Auto Discovery to create
your backup and restore list, ensure that the Backup Engine is running. The
system default is to automatically start the Backup Engine when BrightStor
ARCserve Backup is first started; however, you may need to stop the engine
during certain operations.
