How Arcserve UDP Agent (Windows) Works

Arcserve UDP Agent (Windows) lets you perform frequent and periodic block level backups of your full machine. These backups can be stored on either an internal drive, an external drive, on a remote network share, or a data store on a Recovery Point Server (RPS), depending on the type of installation (Arcserve Unified Data Protection - Full or Arcserve Unified Data Protection - Agent). If the backup destination volume is also selected as the backup source volume, a never ending backup is not executed. During the backup, the backup destination volume is excluded and an entry is added to the Activity log. The Arcserve UDP Agent (Windows) provides the capability to perform Full, Incremental, or Verify type backups.

Arcserve Unified Data Protection - Full:

• Available backup destinations include: internal drive, external drive, remote network share, or a data store on a Recovery Point Server (RPS). When you create a Plan from the Arcserve UDP server, you can select Data Store on Recovery Point Server as the destination and then deploy the plan to the agent node.

Arcserve Unified Data Protection - Agent:

• Available backup destinations include: internal drive, external drive, or a remote network share.

Arcserve UDP Agent (Windows) also provides various methods to identify and locate the backed up data and allow you to restore it if necessary. Regardless of which restore method you select, Arcserve UDP Agent (Windows) lets you quickly identify the data you need and retrieve it from the appropriate backup location.
