Disaster Recovery on Database Applications

Arcserve Backup has special agents to back up database applications. Some of the commonly used database applications include:

If you have backed up one or more of these databases using Arcserve Backup database agents, the databases are not automatically restored as part of the disaster recovery process.

When Arcserve Backup backs up database sessions, additional media sessions are created, separate from the rest of the machine backup. Disaster recovery does not automatically restore these database sessions. However, after you restore the rest of the server using the Disaster Recovery Option, you can start Arcserve Backup and begin a normal database restore procedure using the corresponding application agent. See the corresponding agent guide for more information.
