Quest DL1300 deployment architecture
Your DL1300 deployment architecture consists of local and remote components. The remote components may
be optional for those environments that do not require leveraging a disaster recovery site or a managed service
provider for off-site recovery. A basic local deployment consists of a backup server called the Core and one or
more protected machines known as the agents. The off-site component is enabled using replication that provides
full recovery capabilities in the disaster recovery site. The DL1300 Core uses base images and incremental
snapshots to compile recovery points of protected agents.
Also, DL1300 is application-aware because it can detect the presence of Microsoft Exchange and SQL and their
respective databases and log files. Backups are performed by using application-aware block-level snapshots.
DL1300 performs log truncation of the protected Microsoft Exchange server.
The following diagram depicts a simple DL1300 deployment. DL1300 Agents are installed on machines such as a
file server, email server, database server, or virtual machines are connected to and protected by a single DL1300
Core, which consists of the central repository. The Quest software License Portal manages license subscriptions,
groups and users for the agents and cores in your environment. The License Portal allows users to log in, activate
accounts, download software, and deploy agents and cores per your license for your environment.

You can also deploy multiple DL1300 Cores as shown in the following diagram. A central console manages
multiple cores.
