Deploying Arcserve Cloud Direct Agent

A key component of Arcserve Cloud Direct is the Arcserve Cloud Direct Agent. This backup agent must be installed on each system, which contains data that you want to protect in the Arcserve Cloud.

For VMware virtual environments, you can choose to deploy the Arcserve Cloud Direct Virtual Appliance. This virtual appliance enables agentless backup of VMware virtual machines. The Arcserve Cloud Direct Virtual Appliance eliminates the need to install the backup agent on each individual VMware virtual machine. Steps to deploy the Arcserve Cloud Direct Virtual Appliance for VMware are described here.
