Back Up Data to UNIX and Linux Data Mover Servers

With UNIX and Linux Data Mover, Arcserve Backup lets you submit file system and Oracle database backups to locally attached file system devices and shared tape libraries.

Note: Arcserve Backup does not support backing up data that resides on data mover servers using various Arcserve Backup functionality such as multiplexing, server-side encryption, and CA Antivirus. For more information, see UNIX and Linux Data Mover Limitations.

To back up data to UNIX and Linux data mover servers

  1. Open the Backup Manager and click the Start tab.

    Click Normal backup and then click the Source tab.
