Install CA ARCserve Backup UNIX and Linux Data Mover

UNIX and Linux Data Mover lets you back up and restore data residing on UNIX and Linux servers to storage area network (SAN) attached libraries.

To deploy UNIX and Linux Data Mover, the CA ARCserve Backup primary server must reside in at least one of the following locations:

• On the same SAN as the UNIX or Linux server that you want to protect.
• On the same network as the UNIX or Linux server that you want to protect.

After you install the CA ARCserve Backup primary server, you can then install CA ARCserve Backup UNIX and Linux Data Mover on the UNIX or Linux server that you want to protect using the scripts that are provided on the CA ARCserve Backup installation media.

Note: For information about how to install the CA ARCserve Backup primary server, see the Implementation Guide.

Registering the Data Mover Server

After you install UNIX and Linux Data Mover on the server that you want to protect, you must register the server with the CA ARCserve Backup primary.

You can use any of the following methods to register the data mover server with the primary server:

• Register the data mover server while executing the installation script on the UNIX or Linux server.
• Register the data mover server from the primary server using Device Configuration after you executed the installation script on the UNIX or Linux server.

  Note: For more information, see Register the Data Mover Server with the Primary Server Using Device Configuration.

• Register the data mover server using a command line utility called regtool on the UNIX or Linux server.

  Note: For more information, see Register the Data Mover Server with the Primary Server Using regtool.
