The following features are provided with Arcserve UDP Agent (Windows):
BACKUP
The following backup features are provided with Arcserve UDP Agent (Windows):
Block Level Incremental Backups
If you have a large file and you only change a small portion of this file, Arcserve UDP Agent (Windows) backs up only the changed portion to the incremental backup. It does not back up the whole file.
Infinite Incremental (I2) Snapshots
Application Consistent Backups
Ad-hoc Backups
An ad-hoc backup is one that is created when the situation makes it necessary, rather than being arranged in advance or being part of a plan.
For example, you have a repeat schedule for Full, Incremental, and Verify backups and you want to make major changes to your computer. You can perform an immediate backup without waiting for the next scheduled backup to occur.
For example, you install a patch or service pack and then discover it adversely affects the performance of your computer. You can roll back to the ad-hoc backup session that does not include it.
Change Backup Destination
Provides you with the capability to change the backup destination, depending on the type of installation.
Provides you with the capability to change the backup destination, when the destination is a data store on a Recovery Point Server (RPS). The next backup will be a full backup.
Provides you with the capability to change the backup destination, when the destination is a local disk or a remote shared folder. When the disk space on your destination volume reaches its maximum capacity, Arcserve UDP Agent (Windows) lets you change the destination and you can continue with full or incremental backups.
Note: You can also configure email alert notifications for Destination Threshold so that you can be informed if it reaches the specified threshold value.
Copy Recovery Points
Mount Recovery Points
Provides the ability to mount a recovery point to a drive letter (volume) or an NTFS folder, to view, browse, copy, or open the backup files directly in Windows Explorer.
Backup Speed Throttling
Provides you with the capability to specify the maximum speed (MB/min) at which your backups are written. You can throttle the backup speed to reduce CPU or network use. However, limiting the backup speed, has an adverse effect on the backup window. As you lower the maximum backup speed, it increases the amount of time of perform the backup.
Note: By default, the Throttle Backup option is not enabled and backup speed is not being controlled. Backup Speed Throttling only applies when the Backup Data Format is Standard. When the Backup Data Format is Advanced, a Backup Throttle Schedule is available.
Reserve Space on Destination
Provides you with the capability to specify a percentage of the calculated space that is necessary to perform a backup. This amount of continuous space is then reserved on the destination before the backup starts writing data and helps improve backup speed.
Note: Reserve Space on Destination only applies when the Backup Data Format is Standard. When the Backup Data Format is Advanced, this option does not exist.
Backup Status Monitoring
Arcserve UDP Agent (Windows) provides the capability to monitor:
Job Status Monitoring
Arcserve UDP Agent (Windows) provides the capability to monitor:
RESTORE
Arcserve UDP Agent (Windows) provides the following restore features:
Types of Restores
Arcserve UDP Agent (Windows) provides the following types of restores:
Restores any backed up files/folders.
Restores backed up data based from a specified point in time (recovery point).
Restores File Copy data from a disk or cloud.
Restores individual Exchange objects (mailboxes, mailbox folders, or mail).
Restores a VM that you previously backed up.
Restores backed up Microsoft SQL Server/Microsoft Exchange data at the database level.
Arcserve UDP Agent (Windows) provides the capability to browse directly and restore files/folder and Exchange objects (mailboxes, mail folders, mail) from Windows Explorer by using the "Change to Arcserve UDP Agent (Windows) View" option.

Disk Resizing
Note: Disk resizing if necessary is for basic disks only, and not for dynamic disks.
ALERT NOTIFICATIONS
Arcserve UDP Agent (Windows) provides the following email alert notifications:
Note: These email alerts are sent with a high importance. The email alerts that have a high importance level setting display a visual indicator of an exclamation point in their Inbox.
ENCRYPTION/DECRYPTION SUPPORT
Arcserve UDP Agent (Windows) provides the capability to encrypt and protect (with encryption passwords) your sensitive data and also decrypt the encrypted data after recovery.
For Windows 2003/Vista/2008: CAPI (CryptoAPI) is used for data encryption.
For Windows 7/2008 R2/Windows 2012: CNG (Cryptography API Next Generation) is used for data encryption.
Note: Data interoperability is supported both ways between CAPI and CNG, meaning that data that is encrypted on Windows 2003/Vista/2008 can be decrypted on Windows 7/2008 R2 (and vice versa). This data interoperability enables moving backups of any computer to a different computer, and to restore data from there.
As long as you can log in to Arcserve UDP Agent (Windows), there is no need to remember encryption passwords to restore data from current backups. (Current backups are defined as backups that were created from the same computer that you are logged in to). If you attempt to restore data from encrypted backups belonging to a different computer, you are always asked to provide the encryption password.
FILE COPY
File Copy can be used for copying critical data to secondary locations and can also be used as an archiving solution. File Copy allows you to safely and securely delete the source data after it has been copied to an off-site or secondary storage repository.
Arcserve UDP Agent (Windows) provides the following capabilities to copy or move files and help you reduce storage cost, meet compliance, and improve data protection.
Note: When you use the option File Copy - Delete Source, the data is moved from the source to the destination (deleted from source location). When you perform a file copy, the data is copied from the source to the destination (files remain intact on the original location).
Note: Arcserve UDP Agent (Windows) does not copy application files, files with system attributes, and files with temporary attributes. Only a current backed-up source is eligible for file copying.
Arcserve UDP Agent (Windows) UPDATES
Provides the following capabilities for downloading and installing self- updates to Arcserve UDP Agent (Windows):
Note: All updates that are released for Arcserve UDP Agent (Windows) are cumulative. As a result, each update also includes all previously released updates to ensure that your computer is always up-to-date.
