Review the Prerequisites and Considerations

Prerequisites

• Review the Arcserve UDP Release Notes 6.0. The Release Notes contains a description of system requirements, supported operating systems, and a list of issues known to exist with this release.

  Note: To use SQL Server as Arcserve UDP database, you do not need .Net 3.5.
