Add Multiple Agents and Nodes Using .csv and .txt Files

The Import function lets you add multiple computers (for example, nodes, agents, and Arcserve D2D Servers) using the Arcserve Backup user interface by importing them from a .csv or a .txt file.

Note: A .csv file is a file that uses a comma-separated value format.

To add computers using .csv and .txt files

1. Open the Backup Manager and select the Source tab.

   From the view drop-down list, specify one of the following views:

   • Group View

     Note: The default view is Group View.

   • Classic View

   The view option is applied.

2. Based on the view option specified, do one of the following:
   • Group View--Right-click one of the group objects in the browser (for example, the Microsoft SQL Server, Microsoft Exchange Server, and Oracle Server objects) and select Add/Import/Export Agents from the pop-up menu.

     Note: If the group object specified is Arcserve D2D Server, click Add/Import/Export D2D Servers on the pop-up menu.

   • Classic View--Right-click one of the classic objects in the browser (for example, the Windows Systems object) and select Add/Import/Export Nodes from the pop-up menu.

     Note: If the classic object specified is Arcserve D2D Server, click Add/Import/Export D2D Servers on the pop-up menu.

   The Add/Import/Export dialog opens.

3. Click Import.

   The Windows Open dialog opens.

4. Browse to the file containing the list of computers that you want to import and click Open.

   The computers added to the right-pane list on the Add/Import/Export dialog.

5. Select the computers in the right-pane list for which you want to specify user name and password and then click Security.

   The Security dialog opens. The Security dialog lets you add the user name and password for computers at one time. The computers displayed on the Security dialog are provided from the right-pane list on the Add/Import/Export dialog.

6. Click OK.

   The computers are added to the Backup Manager Source tree.
