ARCserve Backup provides several key benefits, including:

  • Assured Protection of Business Assets. ARCserve Backup provides powerful management tools to ensure complete data protection, including multiple data verification methods and integrated virus scanning and curing.

  • Simplified Administration. ARCserve Backup automates traditional data protection tasks. A web-enabled management interface allows remote centralized management of storage assets that are distributed throughout the enterprise. This central point of control lowers operating expenses, reduces operating errors and simplifies administration.

  • Improved Performance. ARCserve Backup leverages the SNIA standard Extended Copy Command to perform backup and restores across SANs with minimal CPU use, improving performance and freeing up CPU time for mission-critical tasks.

Distinctive Functionalities
  • Powerful Disaster Recovery. The ARCserve Disaster Recovery Option provides fast and easy disaster recovery for Windows and NetWare environments, without the need to re-install the operating system or ARCserve Backup application.

  • Powerful Command Line Interface. Common backup and restore functions can be run directly from the command line, allowing the inclusion of backup/restore functions within batch files and other automation solutions, such as Unicenter.

  • Extensive Reporting Capabilities. Accurate reporting helps you make informed business decisions. Pre-defined reports include: Job Report, Session Report, Session Detail Report, GFS Media Prediction Report, Tape Media Report and Device Report. Users can also customize reports to meet their individual needs.

  • Cross-Platform Remote Management. Multiple backup jobs, devices and databases can be managed from a single view, enabling storage management from any Windows server or workstation.

  • SAN Option. Tape libraries and other storage devices can be shared on a Storage Area Network (SAN) by both NetWare and Windows servers without logical partitions.

  • Built-in Small Library Support. ARCserve Backup reduces the cost of small library integration by supporting a tape library with one drive and unlimited slots. The ARCserve Tape Library Option enables the use of larger tape libraries.
