Arcserve Backup domains are a logical grouping of Arcserve Backup domain primary and member servers that allow easier administration of Arcserve Backup servers and users. In addition to providing a single sign-on to multiple Arcserve Backup servers, it also provides the same access level (privileges) on all the servers for the same user.
An Arcserve Backup domain has a name and a collection of one primary and one or more member servers. This allows you to manage any server from the Arcserve Backup domain to perform database management, tape and device management, and backup policy and schedule management without requiring logging in to each Arcserve Backup server separately.
Primary servers dispatch instructions about jobs and tasks to member servers in an Arcserve Backup domain. If a primary server becomes disabled or unavailable for a period time, tasks such as executing scheduled jobs and authenticating licenses on member servers will not function properly.
Each domain has a name, a mandatory designated primary server, and optional member servers. From the primary server, you can start and stop Arcserve Backup services on any member server in the domain.
When configuring the primary and member servers in a domain, the Arcserve Backup domain name must be the same on all computers in the domain. You must define the Arcserve Backup domain name when you install the primary server. You can reconfigure the domain name using the Server Configuration Wizard to change the domain membership. This wizard configures the Arcserve Backup domain name for all of the domain.
Note: Arcserve Backup server names and Arcserve Backup domain names cannot exceed 15 bytes. A name totaling 15 bytes equates to approximately 7 to 15 characters.
