Each time CA ARCserve D2D performs a successful backup, a point-in-time snapshot image of your backup is also created. This collection of recovery points allows you to locate and specify a backup image to copy. You can do the following to protect your backups:
When you select a recovery point to copy, you are also capturing all previous backup blocks that are needed to recreate a full and most recent backup image.
Follow these steps:
Click Node on the Navigation bar to open the Node screen.
The nodes list displays all nodes that are associated with the specified group.
The CA ARCserve D2D opens and you are logged in to the home page for the CA ARCserve D2D node.
Note: Help ensure that the pop-up options on your browser window are enabled.
The Copy Recovery Point dialog opens.
The calendar view highlights all dates during the displayed time period that contain recovery points for that backup source.
The corresponding recovery points for that date are displayed, with the time of the backup, the type of backup that was performed, and the name of the backup.
Note: A clock icon with a lock symbol indicates that the recovery point contains encrypted information and requires a password for the restore.
The corresponding backup content (including any applications) for that recovery point is displayed.
The Copy Options dialog opens.
Note: Two password fields are displayed in this dialog. The Password field is for the password to decrypt the source session, and the Encryption Password field is used to encrypt the destination session.
You can either specify a location or browse to the location where the copy of your selected recovery point is stored. You can click the green arrow icon button to verify the connection to the specified location. If necessary, enter the User name and Password.
Note: The specified backup compression level has no relation with the copy compression level. For example, in backup destination the compression level can be set to Standard; however, when you submit the copy job, the compression can be changed to No Compression or Maximum Compression.
Compression is performed to decrease your disk space usage, but also has an inverse impact on your backup speed due to the increased CPU usage.
The available options are:
Consider the following points:
You can change, add, or remove encryption for the copied recovery point.
The available format options are No Encryption, AES-128, AES-192, and AES-256.
A status notification window appears and the copy process for the selected recovery point type is launched immediately.
Note: CA ARCserve D2D only allows one recovery point copy job to run at the same time.
The recovery point image is copied from the backup source to the copy destination.
