Deploy Agents to Remote Computers from the Primary Server

Arcserve Backup lets Backup Administrators and Backup Managers install and upgrade a collection of Arcserve Backup agents on remote computers simultaneously using the Agent Deployment wizard application. Agent Deployment verifies that you are running the most current version of a selected group of Arcserve Backup agents in your backup environment.

You can deploy agents to remote computers from primary servers and stand-alone servers.

Agent Deployment lets you deploy the following Arcserve Backup products:

• Arcserve Backup Agent for Microsoft Exchange Server
• Arcserve Backup Agent for Open Files
• Arcserve Backup Agent for Virtual Machines
• Arcserve Backup Client Agent for Windows
• Arcserve Backup Diagnostic Utility

Note: If Agent Deployment detects agents installed on remote computers other than the products listed above, the deployment process terminates.
