Arcserve Unified Data Protection

The Arcserve UDP software is a comprehensive solution to protect complex IT environments. The solution protects your data residing in various types of nodes such as Windows, Linux, and virtual machines on VMware ESX servers or Microsoft Hyper-V servers. You can back up data to either a local machine or a recovery point server. A recovery point server is a central server where backups from multiple sources are stored.

Arcserve UDP provides the following capabilities:

• Back up the data to deduplication/non-deduplication data stores on recovery point servers
• Back up recovery points to tape, using integration with Arcserve Backup (which is also included within the appliance)
• Create virtual standby machines from backup data
• Replicate backup data to recovery point servers and remote recovery point servers
• Restore backup data and performs Bare Metal Recovery (BMR)
• Copy selected data backup files to a secondary backup location
• Configure and manage Arcserve Full System High Availability (HA) for critical servers in your environment

Arcserve UDP replicates backup data that is saved as recovery points from one server to another recovery point server. You can also create virtual machines from the backup data that can act as standby machines when the source node fails. The standby virtual machine is created by converting recovery points to VMware ESX or Microsoft Hyper-V virtual machine format.

The Arcserve UDP solution provides integration with Arcserve High Availability. After you create scenarios in Arcserve High Availability, you can then manage and monitor your scenarios and perform operations like adding or deleting destination machines.
