Arcserve Backup is a comprehensive storage management solution for distributed and multiplatform environments that can backup and restore data from every machine on your network, including those running Windows, UNIX, and Linux.
Formerly of CA Technologies before Arcserve's divestiture (July
2014), Arcserve Backup utilizes magnetic tape storage backup as part of its storage
management offering.
It offers control and visibility from one management console,
whether supporting small-scale or large-scale enterprise environments across
different platforms and organizations.
Jobs are submitted on a primary server and can be run either
locally on the primary server itself, or remotely on any of the associated
member servers. Users can perform and monitor job operations such as backup,
restore, merge, scan, migrate, copy, compare, and so on for all servers from
the primary server.
In addition, a central catalog file is created with descriptive
information about each session and allows users to select the specific files
and directories to be restored without having to query the database itself.
When data needs to be restored, the program can quickly browse the content of
each session in the catalog file from a single central location to locate the
information.
With central reporting, users can launch and create scheduled
reports for all servers in a domain from the primary server. Schedule, preview,
print or email reports for all domain servers from the primary server.
