Backing up with Arcserve UDP
Hi there,
Hopefully someone will be able to help with this, we are moving over to Arcserve UDP for backups, we have left EV until last.
Can anyone confirm this is a compatible way to backup the Vault data and indexes? We will carry on with pre and post tasks to set VSG's and INdex to read only.
Its a D2D solution - UDP backup is inremental, from the Day 1 full backup we will have a 90 day rolling incemental backup - principly the data changed is backed up but from the restore point its full recovery points per day.
Are there any consideration we need to make when moving over to this?
Any help here would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Hi EVGarrison,
My name is Scott Waters and I am Sr. Solution Integration Architect with Arcserve. I see you had some questions regarding Enterprise Vault and using UDP to back it up.
I just wanted to chime in and to confirm that what AndrewB explained is correct. So long as you get all of the components in your backup from the node(s) then you will be able to restore the application and archived files back as needed.
Since we are image based backup you only need to add the volumes to the plan that contain all of these directories. Please let me know if you have any additional questions as I would be more than happy to help with your Arcserve UDP questions.
