The menu bar lets you perform the following tasks:
The following screen displays the menu bar:
The menu bar includes the following options:
Lets you add, modify, and delete servers that have Arcserve UDP Agent (Linux) installed. You can install Arcserve UDP Agent (Linux) to multiple servers and can manage all installed servers from a central UI. The nodes that are managed by the selected server are displayed in the Status pane. All the added servers are displayed in the Backup Servers pane. You cannot modify or delete the central server. A central server is the first server that is displayed in the Backup Servers pane. You can modify and delete other servers from the Backup Servers pane. The Modify button lets you update only the Port Number of the servers.
Lets you add, modify, and delete nodes that you want to back up. Nodes are the machines that you want to back up. You can add multiple nodes to be backed up. You can also discover nodes that are present in your network using a script. You can add the maximum of 200 nodes for each server.
If you delete a node, the Backup Server clears all information about the node from the database, including the backup job information. The Backup Server also deletes the drivers from the node. It may take some time to delete the drivers completely.
Lets you launch the Backup Wizard and the Restore Wizard to help guide you through the backup and restore process.
Use this option if you have not previously added any nodes to be backed up. Selecting this option launches the Backup Wizard and lets you add your nodes during the process.
Use this option if you have previously added your nodes before launching the Backup Wizard. If you click Back Up Selected Nodes without adding any nodes or selecting the existing nodes, you get an error message. To avoid this error, select the node from the Nodes tab and then select Back Up Selected Nodes.
Use this option if you have an existing backup job and you want to apply the same backup settings to new nodes. You do not have to configure the Backup Wizard.
Use this option to perform a BMR. You can perform a BMR using the IP address or MAC address of the bare-metal computer to be recovered.
Use this option to perform a file-level restore. You can select specific files from a recovery point and restore those files.
Lets you manage jobs that you create. A job is an instance of a backup or a restore operation. After you create a backup job for a node, you do not have to create another job to run a backup for the same node next time. However, you have to create a restore job each time you want to perform a BMR.
Lets you add and manage the backup storage locations. The backup storage location could be Network File System (NFS) share, Common Internet File System (CIFS) share, or Local. Local is a local path in the Backup Server.
When you add a backup storage location, you have to provide your credentials for the selected backup storage location. You can only modify the user name and password of the CIFS share. You cannot modify any details of the NFS share. Select the Run script when free space is less than checkbox to run the backup_storage_alert.sh script when the free space is less than the specified value. This value can be a percentage of the total space at the backup destination or a minimum amount of space (in MB) at the backup destination. The backup_storage_alert.sh script can be configured to send an alert when the available free space becomes less than the specified value.
Note: For more information about configuring the backup_storage_alert.sh script, see How to Integrate and Automate Arcserve UDP Agent (Linux) with the Existing IT Environment.
After you add a backup storage location, you can view the corresponding total file size and the empty space in the Status pane. Select a backup storage location to see the recovery sets and recovery points, and the used space for each node that are backed up in that backup storage location. The added storage destinations are also displayed in the Backup Destination page of the Backup Wizard and in the Recovery Points page of the Restore Wizard.
The tools menu includes the Refresh button and the Filter button.
Lets you refresh the selected display area in the Status pane, including the Activity Log to view the latest backup or restore status messages.
Lets you filter information displayed in the Status pane based on your input. The Filter button acts like a switch so that you can show and hide filters using the same button. When you show filters, the search fields are displayed in the Status pane. When you hide filters, the search fields are removed from the Status pane.
The following screen displays the filters applied to the Activity Log:
