Introducing CA Recovery Point Server
CA Recovery Point Server is a server that acts as a backup or replication target. These servers centrally store recovery points, which are the production machine backup images generated by CA ARCserve D2D. Storing recovery points on RPS nodes off-loads post-backup processing (such as catalog generation and recovery point merging) from your production servers.
Additional features:
- Offers Client-side and server-side deduplication to save network bandwidth and conserve disk space
- Supports multiple levels of recovery point replication within the LAN and over WAN.
- Allows you to retain different combinations of the most recent, daily, weekly, or monthly recovery points on multiple levels of RPS nodes (RPO Hierarchy).
- With CA ARCserve Central Protection Manager, lets you centrally deploy and manage RPS nodes, define data stores, configure policies, monitor activities, generate reports, and manage recovery points.
- Integrates with other ARCserve products including CA ARCserve Central Host-Based VM Backup and CA ARCserve Central Virtual Conversion Manager so you can centrally protect virtual machines and convert physical machine recovery points to virtual machines.
