Arcserve Backup Infrastructure Visualization

Arcserve Backup Infrastructure Visualization provides a visual representation of your Arcserve Backup environment, allowing you to quickly see backup status and explore how servers, nodes, and devices are related.

Arcserve Backup Infrastructure Visualization shows each Arcserve Backup Server in a hierarchical form resembling an organization chart. Primary and Member servers are indicated at the top of the hierarchy under the Arcserve domain. The mini-map feature acts as a scaled-down version of the current view, allowing you to pan to portions of the entire graph. You can customize the Infrastructure Visualization by filtering by node name or node tier. You can also print the contents of a view. Double-clicking a specific server, node or device displays its details and permits you to access the corresponding Dashboard reports.

Example: How to Use Infrastructure Visualization

Suppose you want to see the backup status of nodes backed up by each Arcserve Backup server in your environment. To do so, open Infrastructure Visualization and switch to Nodes view, then group the nodes by subnet. The graph displays all Arcserve Backup servers with the backed up nodes grouped by subnets. At the top of each subnet group, a bar shows the last backup status of all nodes in the subnet based on a pre-defined color scheme:

• If the entire bar is red, the backup of all the nodes in that subnet failed.
• If some portion of the bar is yellow, while the rest is green, the backup of some nodes was incomplete, while the rest were successful.

Click a node to open the details window, which shows the backup information specific to the selected node. You can check machine information such as CPU, OS and Memory, as well as check more detailed information by launching related Dashboard Reports. To launch a Dashboard Report, double-click the item in a group and then open the desired report.
