Architectural Overview

You can install CA ARCserve Backup on the same computer as the option and the Oracle database, or on a separate computer. If you install CA ARCserve Backup on the same computer, then communication with the option is local. If you install it on a separate computer, CA ARCserve Backup communicates with the option remotely over a LAN or WAN.

An Oracle instance is a logical database server environment. You can create an Oracle database within an Oracle instance on your database server. The option provides services that allow CA ARCserve Backup to back up and restore a SAP-managed Oracle database associated with the option. The networking capabilities of CA ARCserve Backup enable the option to be located on any Windows server on which an Oracle database is located. You must install one option on each database server that you want CA ARCserve Backup to manage. The following diagram illustrates the basic architecture of CA ARCserve Backup and the Enterprise Option for SAP R/3 for Oracle:

Note: Staging is not supported when you back up the database using SAPDBA or BR*Tools.
