Re-create the Arcserve UDP Database

For various reasons, you may want to re-create the Arcserve UDP database. For example, your current database consumes more than 10 GB of data. To re-create the database, first you need to delete the existing Arcserve UDP database and then configure a new database to replace the deleted database. The procedure applies to Microsoft SQL Server and Microsoft SQL Server Express Edition databases.

Important! When you delete the Arcserve UDP database, all current data is lost.

To re-create the Arcserve UDP database

1. Open Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express and log in to the ARCSERVE_APP instance.

   Note: If Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express is not installed on the Arcserve UDP server, you can download the utility from the Microsoft Download Center.

2. Right-click arcserveUDP and click Delete on the pop-up dialog.

   The Delete Object dialog opens.

   

3. On the Delete Object dialog, click the Close existing connections option, and then click OK.

   The existing Arcserve UDP database is deleted.

4. Configure the new database. For more information, see Configure Database.

   The Arcserve UDP solution re-creates the database. The name of the database instance is ARCSERVE_APP.
