Disaster Recovery Option

The Disaster Recovery Option is based on the concept of collecting and saving machine-specific information before a disaster strikes. When you submit a full backup job, the option automatically generates and saves emergency data for each protected machine locally on the backup server, on backup media, and, optionally, on a remote computer. In the event of a disaster, the option can recover its protected computers to their most recent backup state.

The option generates or updates information for disaster recovery when it performs a full, synthetic full, incremental or differential backup of a computer or a local backup server whenever the Arcserve Backup database is backed up (when the volume on which it resides is backed up).
