Protecting Full Systems

Full System scenarios let you protect or move a physical system to a virtual machine. With Full System scenarios, you can switch a physical machine over to a virtual server manually or automatically, perform assured recovery testing, or set bookmarks that can be used as restore points to either the original machine, or to a new machine.

Arcserve RHA supports dynamic disks including Simple, Striped, Mirrored, Spanned, and RAID-5 volumes. You can have both master and replica as dynamic disks. Dynamic disks let you create volumes that span multiple disks.

Note: When you create a bookmark, RHA engine calls the application VSS writer to create an application consistent snapshot on the master. RHA has four parameters (EnableVSSWriters, ExcludedWriterList, IncludedWriterList, StartWriterServicesList) in the ws_rep.cfg file to customize how the RHA engine calls the application VSS writer to create the snapshot.
