CA ARCserve Backup is a data management and backup program that lets you back up data from your computer or from other computers attached to your network, including a complete system backup of all network computers. Network system information (such as registry information for each computer) is backed up intact, letting you completely restore the computer in the event of system failure.
Each time you run a backup job, CA ARCserve Backup records information in its databases about the computers, directories, and files that have been backed up, and the media used. You can choose to log all information, only job and session information, or to disable database recording entirely. You can view information from the database and generate reports. For example, the jobs processed by CA ARCserve Backup, the media used by CA ARCserve Backup, the devices being used with CA ARCserve Backup, and so on.
CA ARCserve Backup helps you create and maintain media pools for a logical grouping of media. You can assign serial numbers, bar codes, or both to a particular media to help manage your rotations.
CA SRM collects data from the CA ARCserve Backup database according to a user-defined frequency, for example, EVERY DAY. The data collection agent gathers the data and imports it into the CA SRM database. The data collection agent calculates a variety of statistical data, such as totals, averages, severity values, durations, and so on. Following data collection, the standard CA SRM functions are available for all CA ARCserve Backup objects.
You can monitor all pending, completed, and active jobs, and reschedule pending or completed jobs. You can view information about your storage devices and media, change drive compression modes, and perform media maintenance functions such as formatting, erasing, and retention.
CA SRM provides access to the CA ARCserve Backup databases. Using the CA SRM Windows Client, you can do the following:
