Submit Backup Jobs of Arcserve UDP Nodes through the Arcserve UDP Recovery Point Server

Arcserve Backup lets you back up Arcserve Unified Data Protection (UDP) sessions that are protected under the RPS data stores to Arcserve Backup media through a proxy server. The Arcserve Backup media can be file systems devices, tape media, NAS devices, and devices that reside on a SAN.

When you back up Arcserve UDP servers through an Arcserve UDP Recovery Point Server (RPS), Arcserve Backup retrieves all of the Arcserve UDP backup sessions for all of the Arcserve UDP servers that are protected by the Arcserve UDP Recovery Point Server data store.

This backup method lets Arcserve Backup synthesize full backup sessions from the full and incremental Arcserve UDP backup sessions. The synthesized backup sessions can be used to recover Arcserve UDP data at file level, folder level, and application level granularity, and to perform full system recoveries of the Arcserve UDP servers, such as bare metal recovery.

The process of backing up an Arcserve UDP server through an Arcserve UDP Recovery Point Server is almost identical to the steps that are required to back up files, folders, nodes, servers, and so on.

Backing up Arcserve UDP nodes through an Arcserve UDP Recovery Point Server can also back up Arcserve UDP nodes or Arcserve UDP services that are down and not working.

Follow these steps:

1. From the Backup Manager, click the Start tab and specify the type of backup job that you want to submit.
2. Click the Source tab to display the Arcserve UDP nodes and recovery point servers.

   Specify the recovery point servers containing the nodes that you want to back up as illustrated by the following screen:

   

3. Click the Destination tab to specify the location where you want to store the backup data.

   Note: To back up the Arcserve UDP sessions using multistreaming, on the Destination tab, click the Multistreaming option and then specify the maximum number of streams that you want to allow for the job.

4. Click the Schedule tab to specify when and the frequency that you want the job to run.
5. Click the Options toolbar button to specify the backup options that are required for the job. For more information, see Global Backup Options.
6. Click the Submit on the toolbar to submit the job.

   Note: If the Arcserve UDP sessions is protected by Arcserve UDP session password, then the following message appears to let you enable the Arcserve Backup encryption.

   

   The Security and Agent Information dialog opens.

7. On the Security and Agent Information dialog, edit or confirm the security and agent information for your job, and click OK.
8. When the Submit Job dialog opens, select Run Now to run the job immediately, or select Run On and select a date and time when you want the job to run.

   Note: For more information about the Run Now option, see Job Queue Tab.

9. Enter a Job Name for your job.
10. If you selected multiple sources to back up and want to set the priority in which the job sessions initiate, click Source Priority. Use the Top, Up, Down, and Bottom buttons to change the order in which the jobs are processed. When you finish setting priorities, click OK.
11. To save the job as a Arcserve Backup job script, click the Save Job button.
12. To save the job template, click the Save Template button.
13. To preflight check the job, click the Preflight Check button. If the preflight check failed, click the Cancel button to modify the job settings.
14. On the Submit Job dialog, click OK.

    The job is submitted.
