How to Upgrade Multiple ARCserve Servers to a Centralized Management Environment

Complete the following tasks to upgrade multiple ARCserve servers to a centralized management environment that consist of a CA ARCserve Backup Primary Server and one or more CA ARCserve Backup Member Servers.

  1. Install the CA ARCserve Backup Primary Server on the system that will function as the Primary server.

    Note: Setup installs the Central Management Option when you install the CA ARCserve Backup Primary Server.

    You can specify Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Express or Microsoft SQL Server for the CA ARCserve Backup database.

    When you are prompted, migrate the data from the previous release to the new database.

  2. Install the CA ARCserve Backup Member Server on all servers that will function as members of the new ARCserve domain.

    When you are prompted, migrate the data from the previous release to the new database.

  3. Verify the installation.
  4. (Optional) CA ARCserve Backup does not support recovering the CA ARCserve Backup database when the last backup of the CA ARCserve Backup database was completed before you upgraded to this release. As a best practice, you should back up the CA ARCserve Backup database as soon as possible after the upgrade is complete. For information about backing up the CA ARCserve Backup database, see the Administration Guide.
