How Client Agents Work
BrightStor ARCserve Backup and the client agents are designed to support
data storage activities for companies and organizations with networked
computers. In these scenarios, Computer Associates customers use the
BrightStor ARCserve Backup base product and its client agents (and any
required options). The client agents allow you to back up and restore mission-
critical data on your network. They help to:
„
Facilitate backup of applications or file systems
„
Facilitate monitoring of the backup progress
„
Facilitate monitoring for backup log activities
With client agents installed on your network computers, a single BrightStor
ARCserve Backup server can perform data backup and restore operations on
multiple computers and operating systems.
Agent Features
This section discusses the features and functionality offered by the various
BrightStor ARCserve Backup client agents.
Push Technology
All client agents use push technology, which automates the backup and restore
process. The client agent contains separate internal client engines that help
reduce the resource-intensive backup processes for the BrightStor ARCserve
Backup server. With this feature, the client agent filters and packages its
archive data for reception by the server. This data preparation and
transmission method provides real-time directory browsing, offloading system
resources from the backup server, improves data transfer through use of
packet technology, provides network security, and monitors backup and
restore jobs.
