3.0 BrightStor ARCserve Backup r11.1 for Windows SP1 Fixes

The following sections provide fixes and information originally released with BrightStor ARCserve Backup r11.1 for Windows SP1 and included in this release of BrightStor ARCserve Backup r11.1 for Windows SP2.


4.0 Installation Considerations for BrightStor ARCserve Backup r11.1

The following sections provide information to consider when installing BrightStor ARCserve Backup r11.1 for Windows SP1.


4.1 Disaster Recovery Considerations for BrightStor ARCserve Backup r11.1

If you are using the BrightStor® ARCserve® Backup Disaster Recovery Option Windows 2000 Floppy-based method, after you apply the upgrade patch, the Create Boot Kit Wizard asks for two additional disks to create Disaster Recovery Patch Disks. Label these disks Disaster Recovery Patch Disk 1 and Disaster Recovery Patch Disk 2.

Note: The Update Machine-specific Disk procedure is not supported on Windows 2000. Use the Create Boot Disks Option in the Create Boot Kit Wizard to update your Machine-specific Disk.

After you apply the upgrade patch and create the required Disaster Recovery Patch Disks, you must perform the following procedure during the disaster recovery process:

  1. After the first reboot (the first time the Disaster Recovery wizard appears), the Disaster Recovery wizard prompts you to insert the Machine-specific Disk. You are then prompted to insert Disaster Recovery Patch Disk 1 and Disaster Recovery Patch Disk 2. The wizard automatically reboots after you apply all of the Disaster Recovery Patch Disks.

  2. Follow the normal disaster recovery procedure after you restart your machine.

If you are using the BrightStor ARCserve Backup Disaster Recovery Option on Windows XP or Windows 2003, after you upgrade the backup server to BrightStor ARCserve Backup r11.1, you must perform the following procedure:

  1. Download the BrightStor ARCserve Backup r11.1 Update Patch and extract the .CAZ to a temporary folder.

  2. The Extract process includes an ISO image. Burn this ISO image to a CD.

  3. During disaster recovery, when you are prompted to insert the BrightStor ARCserve Backup product CD, insert the CD you burned and proceed with the normal recovery process.


5.0 General Considerations for BrightStor ARCserve Backup r11.1

The following section provides general information to consider when using BrightStor ARCserve Backup for Windows.


5.1 Support for SnapLock on Network Appliance

BrightStor ARCserve Backup has been enhanced to include support for SnapLock, to provide non-erasable backups using limited WORM functionality on disk from Network Appliance. SnapLock locks files on Network Appliance filers for a specific period of time. Once locked, the file cannot be deleted until the lock period expires.

Enable SnapLock from the Advanced tab of the Global Options dialog and specify the retention period on disk. The retention period is calculated from the time you submit the job.

You can change the values each time a job is submitted.

The following general considerations apply when using SnapLock on Network Appliance:


5.2 Time Zone-independent Mode

Currently, the execution time of a job is dependent upon the time zone in which the machine is configured to run. For example, if BrightStor ARCserve Backup is installed on a machine configured to run in the Eastern Time zone and a job is submitted to run at 10 p.m., the job runs at 10 p.m. Eastern Time. If the Time zone of the machine is changed to Atlantic Time, the job actually runs at 11 p.m. local time (10 p.m. Eastern Time) making it appear that the time of execution has changed when the time zone has changed.

You can now configure BrightStor ARCserve Backup to accept modification of the time zone of the machine on which it is installed without affecting the execution time of jobs. If a job is submitted to run at 10 p.m., the job runs at 10 p.m. machine time, regardless of the time zone. The actual execution time for the job remains constant as the machine changes time zones.
