How Arcserve UDP Works

Arcserve UDP is a unified data protection solution that lets you protect your computer systems. The following are the high level steps that you need to follow to protect your systems using Arcserve UDP.

1. Install Arcserve Unified Data Protection.
2. Add Nodes that you want to protect. You can add Windows or Linux nodes and virtual machines in ESX/Vcenter and Hyper-V servers.
3. Add a destination. A destination could be a recovery point server, local folder, or remote shared folder.
4. Create data stores on the recovery point server. A data store is a physical area on a disk. You can create deduplication and non-deduplication data stores.
5. Create a plan. A plan is a group of tasks to manage backup, replication, and creation of virtual standby machines.
6. Perform jobs such as backup, create virtual standby, and replicate.
7. Perform a simple restore or a bare metal recovery.
