Arcserve Backup Agent Deployment

Arcserve Backup Agent Deployment is a wizard-like application that lets you install and upgrade a collection of Arcserve Backup agents on multiple remote computers simultaneously.

caroot account

The caroot account is the default account that Arcserve Backup uses as an authentication mechanism for management purposes. The password for the caroot password account can consist of any combination of alphanumeric and special characters, but may not exceed 15 bytes.

Note: A password totaling 15 bytes equates to approximately 7 to 15 characters.

data mover server

Arcserve Backup data mover servers facilitate the transfer of data to local storage devices. The storage devices include shared libraries and file system devices. Data mover servers are supported on UNIX or Linux operating systems. Arcserve Backup manages data mover servers from a single, centralized, primary server. Arcserve Backup data mover servers function in a manner that is similar to member servers.

file system agent

File system agents are Arcserve Backup applications that you install on computers running various operating systems that let you protect the files that reside on the computers.

member server

Member servers function as worker servers to a primary server. Member servers process jobs dispatched by the primary server. Using primary and member servers you can have a single point of management for multiple Arcserve Backup servers in your environment. You can then use the Manager Console on the primary server to manage its member servers.

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.

response file

Response files are text-based files used with silent installations that contain setup and configuration settings for Arcserve Backup products and components.

virtual machine

A virtual machine is a software based environment that allows a partition to behave like a physical computer. Arcserve Backup supports backing up, restoring, and recovering data that resides on VMware and Microsoft Hyper-V based virtual machines.
