Deploy Agents to Remote Computers from the Primary Server

CA ARCserve Backup lets Backup Administrators and Backup Managers install and upgrade a collection of CA ARCserve Backup agents on remote computers simultaneously using the Agent Deployment wizard application. Agent Deployment verifies that you are running the most current version of a selected group of CA ARCserve Backup agents in your backup environment.

You can deploy agents to remote computers from primary servers and stand-alone servers.

Agent Deployment lets you deploy the following CA ARCserve Backup products:

CA ARCserve Backup Agent for Microsoft Exchange Server
CA ARCserve Backup Agent for Microsoft SQL Server
CA ARCserve Backup Agent for Microsoft SharePoint Server

Note: If Agent Deployment detects agents installed on remote computers other than the products listed above, the deployment process terminates.
