Arcserve D2D Integration

Arcserve Backup integrates with Arcserve D2D so that you can do the following:

• Manage Arcserve D2D servers from a central location.
  • Add computers running Arcserve D2D to the Arcserve D2D Servers object in the Backup Manager.
  • Add computers running Arcserve D2D to the Arcserve D2D Proxy Servers object in the Backup Manager.
  • Add Arcserve Central Host-Based VM Backup proxy servers running Arcserve D2D to the Arcserve D2D Proxy Servers object in the Backup Manager.
• Create Arcserve Backup sessions from Arcserve D2D backup data.
• Back up Arcserve D2D backup sessions stored locally on Arcserve D2D servers to Arcserve Backup media.
• Back up Arcserve D2D backup sessions stored remotely on proxy servers and remote shares (for example, NFS volumes on Linux servers) to Arcserve Backup media.

  Note: Arcserve Backup executes the backup from the server where the Arcserve D2D backup sessions reside; not from the Arcserve D2D server.

• Back up Arcserve D2D data using multistreaming.
• Store Arcserve Backup sessions on tape media (libraries), disk (file system devices), and network shares.
• Recover Arcserve D2D backup data at file and folder level granularity from Arcserve Backup media.
• Recover Microsoft SQL Server databases and Microsoft Exchange Server mailboxes at application level granularity from Arcserve Backup media.

Be aware of the following:

• The Arcserve Backup Client Agent for Windows must be installed on the Arcserve D2D servers to allow Arcserve Backup to communicate with and integrate with Arcserve D2D.

  Note: The Arcserve Backup Client Agent for Windows can be installed on the proxy server if the proxy server option is used to back up Arcserve D2D servers.

• The following sections describe how to integrate Arcserve D2D servers into your Arcserve Backup environment. For information about how to back up Arcserve D2D backup sessions and how to recover D2D data from Arcserve Backup backup sessions, see the Administration Guide.
