Installing/Uninstalling CA ARCserve D2D › Installation Considerations

Installation Considerations

Review the following installation considerations before installing CA ARCserve D2D.

• The CA ARCserve D2D installation package is available through a web download and from the product installation CD.
• Verify that you have administrator privileges or the proper permissions to install software on the servers where you are installing CA ARCserve D2D.
• If you uninstall and install a new CA ARCserve D2D build and specify the same backup destination as the previous build, the first backup after the installation runs as a Verify backup.
• After you install CA ARCserve D2D to a server, there is a deployment link on the home page to let you deploy CA ARCserve D2D remotely. With this link, you are able to deploy CA ARCserve D2D to other servers remotely.
• If CA ARCserve D2D is being installed on a x64 Windows Core Operating System (Windows Server 2008/R2 Core edition), you should also install Windows-on-Windows 64-bit (WOW64) on the Server Core for the CA ARCserve D2D setup to work.
• By default, CA ARCserve D2D uses the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) for communication among all of its components. If you are concerned about the security of information that is communicated between these components (including passwords), you can select this option to change the protocol being used to Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS). For more information, see Change Server Communication Protocol.
• If you previously participated in any Alpha or Beta testing for CA ARCserve D2D on the same system, you will not be able to continue performing backups to the same destination. To avoid possible merge problems, you should change your backup destination and start with a new backup set (Full Backup).
• If you are using both CA ARCserve D2D and CA ARCserve D2D On Demand within your backup environment, you should not mix backups between the two products (content from each product backed up to the same destination).
