Recommended Configuration - Stand-alone Server

When you require a single backup server to protect your environment, the best practice is to install Arcserve Backup using the Stand-alone Server installation.

With a Stand-alone Server installation, you can run, manage, and monitor jobs running locally to and from the backup server.

If you determine at some point that you require additional backup servers to protect your environment, you can install the Primary Server option and then add member servers to your Arcserve Backup domain. You must install the Central Management Option when you install the Primary Server option.

The following diagram illustrates the architecture of a Arcserve Backup Stand-alone Server or a Arcserve Backup Primary Server.
