primary server

Primary servers function as a master server that controls itself and one or more member servers and data mover servers. With primary servers you can manage and monitor backup, restore, and other jobs that run on primary servers, member servers, and data mover servers. Using primary, member, and data mover servers, you can have a single point of management for multiple Arcserve Backup servers in your environment. You can then use the Manager Console to manage the primary server.
