for Windows r11.5 and included in this release of
BrightStor ARCserve Backup for Windows r11.5 SP3, see the
sections
Operating System Support for BrightStor ARCserve Backup r11.5 SP2
,
Operating System Support for BrightStor ARCserve Backup r11.5 SP1
and
Operating System Support for BrightStor ARCserve Backup r11.5.

The integration between BrightStor ARCserve Backup and CA
XOsoft WANSync provides the dual benefit of continuous data
protection (CDP) and backup of this protected data. Through
this integration, WANSync continues to provide real-time,
continuous data replication from the Production server
(Master server) to the Replica server, while BrightStor
ARCserve Backup then backs up this replicated data from the
Replica server to the BrightStor ARCserve Backup server for
archiving and compliance, and long term retention.
- To integrate BrightStor ARCserve Backup r11.5 SP3 with CA
XOsoft WANSync, you must be running WANSync, Version 4.0,
starting with Build 69.
The Master servers are supported on the following operating
systems:
- Microsoft Windows 2000 Server and Advanced Server (32-bit)
- Microsoft Windows Server 2003 R2 Enterprise Edition and
Standard Edition SP1 (32-bit and x64)
The Replica servers are supported on the following
operating systems:
- Microsoft Windows Server 2003 R2 Enterprise Edition and
Standard Edition SP1 (32-bit and x64)
In addition to the file protection, BrightStor ARCserve
Backup and CA XOsoft WANSync integration supports data
protection for the following:
Note: BrightStor ARCserve Backup and CA XOsoft WANSync
integration supports WANSync running on English version and
the BrightStor ARCserve Backup running on English and other
languages supported by CA.
The following section provides system requirements for
BrightStor ARCserve Backup.
For information originally released with BrightStor
ARCserve Backup for Windows r11.5 SP2, BrightStor ARCserve
Backup for Windows r11.5 SP1 and BrightStor ARCserve Backup
for Windows r11.5 and included in this release of
BrightStor ARCserve Backup for Windows r11.5 SP3, see the
sections
System Requirements for BrightStor ARCserve Backup for Windows r11.5 SP2
,
System Requirements for BrightStor ARCserve Backup r11.5 SP1
and
System Requirements for BrightStor ARCserve Backup r11.5.
BrightStor ARCserve Backup is updated to support Internet
Explorer Version 7.0 on both 32-bit and 64-bit machines.
BrightStor ARCserve Backup Agent for Microsoft Exchange is
updated to support Microsoft Exchange 2007.
The agent includes the following options:
- BrightStor® ARCserve® Backup Agent for Microsoft Exchange
Server 2007 – A Database Level agent to backup and restore
Microsoft Exchange server databases.
- BrightStor® ARCserve® Backup Agent for Microsoft Exchange
2007 Premium Add-on – A Document Level agent to backup and
restore Microsoft Exchange folders and messages.
The following section provides information relating to the
system requirements for the Agent for Microsoft Exchange
Server 2007 for this service pack release:
The following are the minimum system requirements for the
agent:
The following sections provide hardware and software
requirements for installing and running the BrightStor®
ARCserve® Backup Agent for Microsoft Exchange Server
Premium Add-on.
The following are the minimum hardware requirements for the
agent:
Note: This agent requires Microsoft Messaging API and
Collaboration Data Objects 1.2.1 to be installed on your
machine. This is available as a web download from the
Microsoft web site and is not a part of the Microsoft
Exchange 2007 server installation.
The BrightStor ARCserve Backup Enterprise Option for SAP
R/3 for Oracle requires one of the following versions of
Oracle Server:
- Oracle 8, Oracle 8i (SAP R/3 4.x)
- Oracle 9, Oracle 9i (SAP R/3 6.x)
- Oracle 10, Oracle 10g (SAP R/3 7.0)
Note: SAPDBA should be installed on the same server to use
the agent BACKINT option. SAPDBA is not available for the
later versions of SAP R/3 6.4.
The option is supported on 64-bit editions (IA-64) of
Windows 2003 Service Pack 1 and of Oracle 9i in this
release. However, the Agent for Oracle is not supported
with 64-bit editions of Oracle. Therefore, only those
components of the Enterprise Option for SAP R/3 for Oracle
which are not part of the Agent for Oracle are enabled on
64-bit editions of Windows. During installation (and when
you run it from the Start menu) an alternate dialog
appears, rather than the standard Oracle Agent Account
Configuration, which requests only the information needed
to perform backup and restore operations using the BR*Tools
provided by SAP.
Additionally, the Client Agent for Windows does not obtain
an Excluded Files List from Oracle databases under this
configuration. File system backups performed through the
Client Agent for Windows may try to back up Oracle database
files, but the Oracle data files in those backups do not
represent a consistent copy of the database unless they
have been taken when the Oracle database is offline.
Note: You must meet the BrightStor ARCserve Backup Base
product and Client Agent for Windows requirements to use CA
XOsoft WANSync features. Contact CA Technical Support for
any updates to these requirements.
The following sections provide information about
installation prerequisites, configurations, and issues to
consider before installing BrightStor ARCserve Backup and
its agents and options.

This service pack includes all the security vulnerability
updates released for BrightStor ARCserve Backup r11.5 SP2.
In addition, this service pack includes many bug fixes and
solutions to previously discovered known issues. CA
recommends that you upgrade to this service pack at your
earliest convenience.
The following section provides information regarding issues
known to exist in BrightStor ARCserve Backup r11.5 SP3.
For information originally identified during the release of
BrightStor ARCserve Backup for Windows r11.5 SP2,
BrightStor ARCserve Backup for Windows r11.5 SP1 and
BrightStor ARCserve Backup for Windows r11.5 and included
in this release of BrightStor ARCserve Backup for Windows
r11.5 SP3, see the sections
Known Issues for BrightStor ARCserve Backup r11.5 SP2 ,
Known Issues for BrightStor ARCserve Backup r11.5 SP1 and
Known Issues for BrightStor ARCserve Backup r11.5.
- When you register BrightStor ARCserve Backup with Unicenter
Software Delivery Version 11.1, you must specify security
provider credentials in the User ID field on the Unicenter
Software Delivery User Details dialog. The security
provider credentials must be in the following format:
Winnt://server/administrator
Where server represents the name of the USD Server on the
Unicenter Software Delivery User Details dialog.
Note: Failure to use this format may result in session
establishment failure.
- For the CA XOsoft WANSync Integration, any BrightStor
ARCserve Backup generated Error and Warning messages that
appear in the Activity Log and are not linked to a related
Help topic, see the BrightStor ARCserve Backup for Windows
CA XOsoft WANSync Integration Guide.
- For the Agent for Microsoft Exchange, several Error and
Warning messages that appear in the Activity Log and the
dialogs that relate to Microsoft Exchange 2007 Server
functionality are not linked to the online help topic. For
more information about the Agent for Microsoft Exchange
error messages and Exchange 2007 Server functionality, see
the BrightStor ARCserve Backup Agent for Microsoft Exchange
Guide.
- Restore job fails with error messages when you use
Enterprise Option for SAP R/3 for Oracle to restore
database objects located under root of the system partition
(example: c:\). To avoid this problem, do not save the
database objects in the root directory.
- In this release, BrightStor ARCserve Backup partially
supports SQL Writer service for SQL Server 2005. Due to
this limitation, BrightStor ARCserve Backup uses Microsoft
SQL Server Desktop Engine Writer (MSDE Writer) as the
default Writer for SQL Server 2005.
To enable this functionality, set the following registry
key to 0, start the SQL Server VSS Writer service manually
and restart your machine:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\VSS\Settings\MSDEVersionChecking
- The iSponsor installation is not supported when you install
the BrightStor ARCserve Backup using Unicenter Software
Delivery.
- The Virtual Library configuration is not supported on
64-bit machines.
- The Agent for Microsoft Exchange skips backing up the
attachments which exceeds 100MB and reports the appropriate
message in the activity log.
- You must assign only one staging device to a staging group.
Staging jobs use the first staging device and fails to use
other staging devices even if they do not exceed the
threshold.
- Restore jobs fail when you restore SharePoint Portal
Services database to an alternate location on a different
machine. To avoid this, you must manually map the virtual
destination path of the SharePoint Portal Services database
you want to restore to its physical path. To find the
SharePoint Portal Services database physical path, select
the specific session from the Restore By Session view of
the Restore Manager. The format of the physical path should
be the following:
\\<machine name>\dbasql@<SQL server instance name>\<SQL server database name>
- Backup jobs may fail when the source files, directories, or
both contain special characters in their name (for example,
Ω, È, Ǽ, and Ø). To remedy this problem, select the parent
directory to the files that contain special characters as
the source for your backup job. Ensure that the parent
directory contains no special characters and then submit
the job.
- BrightStor ARCserve Backup Enterprise Option for SAP R/3
does not support remote Silent upgrade using the following
parameter on the 64-bit operating systems:
/AU
- When you install the SharePoint External Data Agent or the
SharePoint Database Agent on a Server machine running the
router, regardless of the new path you specify BrightStor
ARCserve Backup installs these subagents in the router's
home directory.
- Restoring the backward-compatible Document Library to an
alternative location on a remote machine running a
different version of Exchange Storage Engine than the
Source machine causes SharePoint Portal Server Document
Management service on the remote machine to fail. To avoid
this, you must ensure that the version of the Exchange
Storage Engine running on the remote machine is same as the
version running on the source machine.
- In this service pack, to enhance the performance of the
backup jobs to the physical devices, the
FILE_FLAG_NO_BUFFERING flag is enabled by default. This can
cause performance issues while backing up to File System
Devices (FSDs). To avoid this, add the DWORD value
FSDNOBUFFER to the following registry key and set it to 0:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ComputerAssociates\BrightStor ARCserve Backup\Base\TapeEngine\CONFIG
- When you install the Client Agent for Windows on Windows 98
or Windows Me machines, garbage characters or untranslated
content may be displayed in the End User License Agreement
(EULA). You can view the correct EULA on other platforms.
- Restore jobs may fail when you backup the data from the
replica database immediately when the replica is enabled.
This is because when you perform backup from the replica
database as soon as the replica is enabled, the checkpoint
files and the log files may not be replicated to the Local
Continuous Replication (LCR) location. When you restore
this backup set to the original location, the backup set
may not contain the checkpoint file and the restore job
fails. To avoid this, remove all the log files from the
original storage group location before you submit the
restore job.
- When you restore Microsoft Exchange mailboxes to a target
folder, the powershell may crash if the target folder has a
lengthy folder name. This is because the folder name in the
Microsoft Exchange Server is limited to 255 characters. You
must ensure not to use lengthy target folder names while
restoring the mailboxes.
- The backup jobs may fail when you restore the previous full
backup session and submit the incremental backup job
without performing full backup. Also, the subsequent full
backup jobs fail with the error message "Event 206,
"****.edb" cannot be incrementally backed-up. You must
first perform a full backup before performing an
incremental backup." in the Windows Application Event
viewer. To resolve this, restart the Exchange Server
Information Store Service from the Service Manager.
Note: To avoid this scenario, ensure to perform a full
backup before you submit incremental jobs.
- Multiplexing backup jobs may fail if your BrightStor
ARCserve Backup server machine is having insufficient
memory to handle the maximum number of streams (32) with
the maximum chunk size (16 MB). The BrightStor ARCserve
Backup server requires approximately 150 MB per job on the
server side and 40 MB per job on the client side. For
example, if you submit a backup job to back up 10 machines,
you must ensure that 1.5 GB (150*10) is available on the
BrightStor ARCserve Backup server machine.
- When you submit a tapecopy operation in non-query mode to
copy data from a tape that was created using multiplexing
to a non-multiplexing tape, BrightStor ARCserve Backup may
not copy all sessions from the source tape to the
destination tape.
To remedy this problem, submit a tapecopy operation using
the –n and –nTotal switches. These options let you copy the
remaining sessions from the source tape to the destination
tape, starting with the first missing session.
- When you merge the older system state backups that were
backed up with the Disable File Estimate option enabled,
the server name in the Restore Manager is displayed as
0.0.0.0. To restore the backups with the server name
0.0.0.0, you must ensure that the system state belongs to
the local server and add the DWORD value ForceRestoreSS to
the following registry key and set it to 1:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ComputerAssociates\BrightStor ARCserve Backup\Base\Task\Restore
Note: Ensure to delete this value after the system restore
is complete.
- When you submit a backup job to back up Microsoft Exchange
2007, the Agent for Microsoft Exchange and the Client Agent
for Windows fails to back up the IpFilters.edb file.
The IpFilters.edb file is part of the Transport Role and
can be located in different locations depending on your
Microsoft Exchange topology. This file stores manually
configured IP allow/block entries which are used by the
connection filtering agent in the anti-spam filters to
allow or block the specified IP connections. It is also
used by the Sender Reputation Agent (SRA) to add the IP
addresses to automatically block the list entries during
runtime. When you perform disaster recovery of a server
machine which has the Transport Role installed, you will
lose these entries. In addition, the Exchange Server will
create an empty IpFilters.edb file when the exchange
services are restarted.
To avoid the loss of this configuration data, you are
highly recommended to install the Agent for Open Files
which allows access to this file for the backup job.
The following section provides information about items that
have not yet been changed in the product documentation for
BrightStor ARCserve Backup for Windows r11.5 SP3, but that
affect the information in that documentation:
- When you back up the Macintosh machine, the error code
AW280080 in the Job Status Activity Log incorrectly
displays the information about UNIX. This information is
applicable to Macintosh.
- For this release BrightStor ARCserve Backup for Windows
adds support for Microsoft Exchange 2007 Server and CA
XOsoft WANSync Integration. You can download the most
current versions of these guides at the CA SupportConnect

updated to ensure that hardware compression is now properly
disabled when you add the DWORD value
FormatWithoutHardwareCompression to the following key and
set the value to 1:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ComputerAssociates\BrightStor ARCserve Backup\base\TapeEngine\CONFIG
- [T595016] [T36A355] You can now successfully perform
Disaster Recovery on Windows XP and Windows 2003 machines
that have no external drives connected. Previously, the
agent failed to format such machines and the Disaster
Recovery process was unsuccessful.
- [T595017] [T36A356] BrightStor ARCserve Backup Disaster
Recovery Option is now updated to correctly identify the
number of disks in the Text Mode Setup and the Disaster
Recovery Wizard when you load third party drivers during

updated to ensure Document Level jobs do not display the
message “connecting to media” for long time before starting
a staging job.
- [T245302] The Exclude Directory filter now works properly
when you submit restore jobs using Client Agent for Windows
and the directory pattern you specify includes the drive

scratch set, the job would not finish.
- [T245116] BrightStor ARCserve Backup can now successfully
back up three-node jobs when the second node is for the
Agent for Microsoft SQL Server and the tape spans while the
second node is being backed up. Previously, the job failed
with the error "E3841 Unable to find session number"
(MEDIA=testmedia, SESSION=22, EC=EARLY WARNING) during
verification when trying to find the third node.
- [T245120] The Backup Manager now properly and reliably
displays Media Pool status on the Destination tab.

- [T326113] The Disaster Recovery Wizard now correctly
displays tape information.
- [T1A5295] The Agent for Open Files has been updated to
ensure that you can now successfully back up open files
without generating the message "the process cannot access
the file because another process is accessing the file."
Additionally, the agent has been updated to improve the
speed of backup or restore jobs.
- [T31A288] The BrightStor ARCserve Backup Universal Agent
and BrightStor Enterprise Backup Universal Agent buffer
overflow codes have been updated to prevent security
vulnerability. We strongly recommend that you immediately
apply this security update to all systems utilizing any of
the following products:
- BrightStor ARCserve Backup v9.01
- BrightStor ARCserve Backup v9.01 Client Agent for Windows
- BrightStor ARCserve Backup v9.01 Network Attached Storage
(NAS) Option for Windows
- BrightStor ARCserve Backup v9.01 Agent for Oracle for
Windows
- BrightStor ARCserve Backup v9.01 Agent for SAP R/3 for
Windows
- [T31A261] This service pack addresses a security
vulnerability due to buffer overflow in the BrightStor
ARCserve Backup Discovery Service. This security update
should be applied to all Windows systems on which the
BrightStor ARCserve Backup for Windows v9.0 base product
and any BrightStor ARCserve Backup agents are installed.
- [T3F8085] For Microsoft SQL Server, BrightStor ARCserve
Backup has been updated to successfully back up more than
1500 databases.
- [T16C408] BrightStor ARCserve Backup has been enhanced to
ensure that you no longer receive the error "File header
signature or stream signature is invalid" when restoring or
verifying data from certain backup sessions (a backup
session is a backup of a file system or database - backup
jobs can contain multiple sessions). Previously, data
corruption problems occurred during backups if, while the
first session of a backup job was running, 1000 other
backup sessions started and were completed. If a new backup
session started (session 1001) while session 1 was still
running, this session would be corrupted.
- [T1A5182] Restore jobs no longer erroneously generate the
error "N3941 Skip file - Marked as invalid. (FILE=File Path
Name>" in the log file.
- [T352094] You can now create encrypted session passwords
when backing up data.

instances in a single job without mixing databases from the
second instance with databases of the same name from the
first instance.

locations.
- [T1A5143] When you restore specific files using the Image
Option, you now receive an error message if all of the
specified files are not restored.
- [T245178] When a restore job cannot replace a file, it
creates either a ACT$xxxx file or a SYT$xxxx file in the
same directory as the file that could not be replaced.
Previously, if the file was under WINDOWS\System32\CatRoot,
the digital signature of the driver would sometimes
disappear after you rebooted the machine and an error
indicating that the ACT$xxxx file could not be found would
be recorded in the dberr.log. BrightStor ARCserve Backup
now ensures that digital signatures no longer disappear
after you reboot.
- [T245184] BrightStor ARCserve Backup has been updated to
ensure that, after you reboot your system (if files were
active and could not be replaced while a full restore job
was running), restored files now reflect the correct
timestamps, not the time the restore job ran.
- [T1A5296][T245191] File names containing Japanese
characters are no longer garbled in the Agent for Open
Files settings (ofawin.exe) when you add these names to
groups.
- [T245170][T245177] BrightStor ARCserve Backup now reliably
backs up catalog.wci directories even when the catalog.wci
directory is empty or has no changed files to back up (in
differential backup jobs) and the Estimate File Size option
is enabled.
- [T245171] You no longer erroneously receive the message
"Computer Associates Licensing - 3BAL - Component not
licensed" when backing up data using the BrightStor
ARCserve Backup r11.1 Oracle Agent for Linux.
- [T46B066] BrightStor ARCserve Backup has been updated to
correct the following decryption issues:
- You can now properly restore Oracle databases backed up
with local file system drives with global encryption
- You can now properly back up file system drives (for
example, C) from one server and database agents from
another node using global encryption and restore the
database agent sessions without generating the error "E3482
Failed to decrypt data."
- You can now restore data backed up using the Client Agent
for Windows without generating the errors "AE0322 Failed to
initiate the encryption library. Job aborted," and "E3482
Failed to decrypt data (EC27)." Previously, if you restored
this data using database agents, these errors would be
generated.
- You can now properly restore Linux data and preserve
attributes. Previously, random, nonsense characters were
restored with the data and the attributes were not
preserved.
- [T16C514] BrightStor ARCserve Backup has been updated to
ensure that you can properly run Serverless backup and
restore jobs when the backup spans tapes and that you can
reliably run restore jobs if the world wide name is all
zeros. In addition, BrightStor ARCserve Backup now supports
the CISCO Serverless solution.
- [T16C515] You can now run VSS backup jobs on Windows 2003
machines with Windows 2003 SP1 installed.
- [T1A5232] BrightStor ARCserve Backup has been updated to
ensure that you no longer receive the error "Ofant.exe -
Entry point not found; The procedure entry point
setEUCStatus could not be located in the dynamic link
library service.dll" in the Windows Event Viewer.

as a write-enabled tape cartridge in the inventory, backups
finished successfully despite the write-protected tape
status.
- [T245076] BrightStor ARCserve Backup has been updated to
accurately detect tapes in slots. Previously, tapes were
not reliably detected in slots, generating the messages
"W3831 Unable to find any media that can be used in this
job" or "W3832 Unable to find a blank media" in the
Activity log and the message "Error in search for tape for
JobID[370]. EC=ENUM_TAPE_EXHAUSTED" in the Tape log.

the Business Process View and Unispace of the Unicenter NSM
repository.
- [T3D3048] BrightStor ARCserve Backup has been updated to
allow the BrightStor ARCserve Backup v9.01 Client Agent for
NetWare (running in a BrightStor ARCserve Backup 11.0
Windows environment) to restore NDS objects to their
original location without generating the error "E3814
invalid session/encryption password."
- [T3D3037] The error E11063, indicating that an object
identifier is duplicated, is no longer generated
unnecessarily.
- [T3D3029] The Client Agent for Windows no longer keeps a
connection to the backup drive root after backup jobs are
finished. Previously, the client agent kept a connection to
the backup drive root after backup jobs finished so the
backup drive could not be formatted unless the agent was
restarted.
- [T245125] If you use the floppy-based Disaster Recovery
method (local or remote) for a Windows 2000 server (rather
than the more efficient CD recovery), see the readme file
for information on how to update your installation.

database, and you receive media management errors for tapes
not protected by media management, the error messages may
indicate a login failure with Microsoft SQL Server. Under
certain circumstances (if the login failure error generates
error codes 18456, 18452, or 5), BrightStor ARCserve Backup
now retries the login to Microsoft SQL Server.

To install and configure BrightStor ARCserve Backup as a
cluster-aware application on Microsoft Windows Server 2003
R2 in an NEC CLUSTERPRO/ExpressCluster installation,
perform the following procedure on all physical nodes in
the cluster:
- Install BrightStor ARCserve Backup using the cluster-aware
installation instructions in the appendix Backing Up and
Restoring NEC CLUSTERPRO/ExpressCluster Clusters in the
Administrator Guide.
Do not configure your storage area network if you have the
BrightStor ARCserve Backup Storage Area Network (SAN)
Option installed.
- Add the following DWORD value to the Windows registry key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\lanmanserver\parameters
and set the value to 0x01:
DisableStrictNameChecking
- Remove the following DWORD value from the Windows registry
key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa\MSV1_0
if it exists:
BackConnectionHostNames
- Recreate the following multi-string DWORD value with the

After you apply any major patches, you must update the
disaster recovery media used to protect your local backup
server machine as well as any remote client machines. We
strongly recommend that you update your disaster recovery
media as soon as possible after applying any major patches.
The method you use to update your media depends upon the
operating system and disaster recovery method you have
chosen to protect the machines:
- Windows 2000 using the Bootable CD method: Launch the Boot
Kit Wizard and create a new bootable CD image (CDBOOT.ISO)
after applying the patch. Burn the CD image to a blank CD
and label it properly.
- Windows 2000, Windows XP, or Windows 2003 using the
Bootable Tape method (OBDR): Launch the Boot Kit Wizard to
create a new bootable tape image (TOBER.ISO) after applying
the patch. Format a new tape with the image before you run
the backup.
- Windows 2000 using the Bootable Disk method, Windows 2003,
or Windows XP: Perform the following procedure to update
your media after you apply any major patches:
- Create the folder C:\dr_patch.
- In the dr_patch folder, create the folder
C:\dr_patch\BOOTDISK.
Note: If you are using a language other than English,
create the folder C:\dr_patch\BOOTDISK.xxx where xxx is a
language extension, indicating the language you use. Use
one of the following language extensions to indicate the
language:
– Simplified Chinese: CHS
– Traditional Chinese: CHT
– Japanese: JPN
– Korean: KRN
– German: GRM
– Italian: ITA
– French: FRN
– Spanish: SPN
– Brazilian Portuguese: PRB
- From a command prompt, go to the BrightStor ARCserve Backup
home directory and, from the bootdisk.w2k directory,
execute the following command to decompress all the files
in the bootdisk.w2k directory to the C:\dr_patch\BOOTDISK
directory:
expand –r * C:\dr_patch\BOOTDISK
Note: If you are using a language other than English, copy
all files from C:\dr_patch\BOOTDISK to
C:\dr_patch\BOOTDISK.xxx.
- Create an empty signature file in C:\dr_patch and name it
arc.w2k.
- Burn a new CD to include the files in the C:\dr_patch
folder (do not include the dr_patch folder itself). Include
the following in the new CD root location:
– BOOTDISK folder
– BOOTDISK.xxx folder (where xxx is the language extension
for languages other than English)
– arc.w2k file
Use the new CD as your BrightStor ARCserve Backup disaster
recovery CD.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ComputerAssociates\BrightStor ARCserve Backup\Base\TapeEngine\CONFIG
Alternatively, you can use manual configuration to enter
high density tape drive names.
If you use an iOmega USB autoloader, you need not install
the BrightStor® ARCserve® Backup for Windows r11.5 SP1 Tape
Library Option. In addition, you need not run Device
Configuration to configure your devices.
To configure your devices when BrightStor ARCserve Backup
is installed as a cluster-aware application on MSCS Cluster
Servers, you must perform the following procedure:
- Delete the BrightStor BKP Registry resource from the MSCS
Cluster Administrator.
- Right-click the BrightStor ARCserve Backup resource and
select Properties from the pop-up menu.
The Properties dialog appears.
- On the Advanced tab of the Properties dialog, click Do Not
Restart.
- Configure your devices as necessary for your environment.
- Right-click the BrightStor ARCserve Backup resource and
select Properties from the pop-up menu.
The Properties dialog appears.
- On the Advanced tab of the Properties dialog, click Restart
and bring the BrightStor ARCserve Backup resource back on
line.

ARCserve Backup Registry Hive for Replication and Set Up
Dependencies Between BrightStor ARCserve Backup Groups in
the appendix “Backing Up and Restoring MSCS Clusters” in
the Administrator Guide.
Depending on your environment, errors related to the
releasing of resources can cause BABGroup failover
operations to fail. To address this issue, you can adjust
the sleep timing in the BABGroup stop script (stop.bat) by
adjusting the armsleep value.
The armsleep value indicates the number of seconds the
system waits for resources to be released during failover.
You can prolong this to 3 or 4 seconds if failover
operations fail with errors relating to the releasing of
resources.
To adjust the value, perform one of the following actions:
- If you are using NEC CLUSTERPRO/ExpressCluster SE, add the
armsleep value to the BABGroup stop script (immediately
before the armkill CASTapeEngine value) and adjust the
timing value.
- If you are using NEC CLUSTERPRO/ExpressCluster LE, adjust
the existing armsleep value of 2 to 3 or 4 seconds.
The following sections provide general information to
consider when using the Agent for Microsoft Data Protection
Manager.
Typically, to restore your Microsoft Data Protection
Manager server completely, you must uninstall and reinstall
Data Protection Manager (DPM) before the DPM database and
the replica can be restored because, although a version of
Microsoft SQL Server is installed automatically during the
Data Protection Manager installation, DPM (through the DPM
Writer) does not protect the Microsoft SQL server.
To avoid uninstalling and reinstalling Microsoft Data
Protection Manager, you can use the BrightStor® ARCserve®
Backup Client for VSS Software Snap-Shot to recover
Microsoft Data Protection Manager in a disaster recovery
scenario.
Depending upon your environment, you must perform one of
the following procedures to recover your Microsoft Data
Protection Manager server.
Use this procedure to restore your Data Protection Manager
server if have the following installed in your environment:

The following sections provide information about issues
known to exist in BrightStor ARCserve Backup for this
service pack.
For information originally identified during the release of
BrightStor ARCserve Backup for Windows r11.5 and included
in this release of BrightStor ARCserve Backup for Windows
r11.5 SP3, see the section
Known Issues for BrightStor ARCserve Backup r11.5.
The following section provides information relating to
issues affecting the Agent for Microsoft Exchange Server
known to exist in this service pack:
- You must use Windows Server 2003 SP1 and Exchange Server
2003 SP1 when using the Interorg replication utility to
replicate Exchange.
The following section provides information relating to
issues affecting the Agent for Microsoft Data Protection
Manager (DPM) known to exist in this service pack:
- If you recover a DPM server after a disaster, the SQL
Reporting Service reports the error ID 3014 after you click
the Reporting tab of the DPM Administrator Console. We are
currently working with Microsoft to resolve this issue.
The following section provides information relating to
issues affecting the Agent for Oracle known to exist in
this service pack:
- When you restore full database backup jobs using the Agent
for Oracle, you must shut down the database completely to
avoid generating an error message in the Activity log.
The following section provides information relating to
issues affecting the Disaster Recovery Option known to
exist in this service pack:
- On Windows 2000 and older versions of Windows, when you
create a machine-specific disk, the disk is not
automatically labeled CADRIF, as it is on later versions of
Windows. This does not affect the functionality of the
Disaster Recovery Option.
- If your tape drive is in OBDR (One Button Disaster
Recovery) mode, the Windows operating system setup regards
the primary master hard drive as the boot disk, by default.
If your boot disk is not set to the primary master hard
drive, the setup cannot continue.
To address this problem, turn off the primary master disk
in BIOS and boot from the tape again.
To avoid this problem, set your boot disk as the primary
master disk.
For information originally identified during the release of
BrightStor ARCserve Backup for Windows r11.5 and included
in this release of BrightStor ARCserve Backup for Windows
r11.5 SP3, see the section
Documentation Changes for BrightStor ARCserve Backup r11.5.
The following section provides information about items that
have not yet been changed in the product documentation for
BrightStor ARCserve Backup for Windows r11.5 SP1, but that
affect the information in that documentation:
- The online help does not currently provide information
about the message W6926. The online help should contain the
following information:
“W6926: The memory in the tape cartridge has failed, which
reduces performance. Do not use the cartridge for further
backup operations.” This Tape Engine warning indicates that
a hardware error was reported by your devices. Do not
continue to use this cartridge for backup jobs. We strongly
recommend that you write-protect the cartridge, to ensure
that it is used for restore purposes only.
- The online help and the Administrator Guide state that the
following switch for the ca_merge and ca_scan commands is
not supported on Windows:
[-currenttapeseq] [-allsessions | -session <session range>]
This statement is no longer correct. BrightStor ARCserve
Backup has been updated to enable this switch on Windows
platforms.
- The online help and the Administrator Guide state that the
-condition switch is supported for the ca_scan command.
This statement is not correct. This switch is not supported.
- In the tapecopy Destination Options section of the Using
Command Line Utilities, the Administrator Guide describes
the following format for the Destination random ID option,
used to copy to tapes with a random ID:
-idr <Destination Random ID>
This format is incorrect. The format of the Destination
random ID option should be the following:
-idd <Destination Random ID>
- The Agent for Microsoft SharePoint Guide states that the
SQL Agent Filter Option is supported by the agent. This
statement is not correct. The SQL Agent Filter Option is
not supported by the Agent for Microsoft SharePoint.
- The Agent for Microsoft SharePoint Guide states the
following:
Important! Transaction logs are not backed up during full
or differential database backups. You must back them up by
running separate Transaction log backups.
This statement is partially correct and requires
clarification. During a full database or differential
backup, enough of the transaction log is backed up to
produce a consistent database for when the database is
restored.
- The Image Option Guide states the following:
You can set the registry values for SyncTimeout,
InactivityPeriod, and PreviewFilename in the following:
Software\ComputerAssociates\BrightStor ARCserve Backup\TapeEngine\Image
This statement is incorrect because this key does not exist
by default. To change the default registry values for
SyncTimeout, InactivityPeriod, and PreviewFilename, you
must create this key and set the values for these
parameters.

required.
The option is supported on 64-bit editions (IA-64) of
Windows 2003 Service Pack 1 and of Oracle 9i in this
release. However, the Agent for Oracle is not supported
with 64-bit editions of Oracle. Therefore, only those
components of the Enterprise Option for SAP R/3 for Oracle
which are not part of the Agent for Oracle are enabled on
64-bit editions of Windows. During installation (and when
you run it from the Start menu) an alternate dialog
appears, rather than the standard Oracle Agent Account
Configuration, which requests only the information needed
to perform backup and restore operations using the BR*Tools
provided by SAP.
Additionally, the Client Agent for Windows does not obtain
an Excluded Files List from Oracle databases under this
configuration. File system backups performed through the
Client Agent for Windows may try to back up Oracle database
files, but the Oracle data files in those backups do not
represent a consistent copy of the database unless they
have been taken when the Oracle database is offline.

The following sections provide information about issues
known to exist in BrightStor ARCserve Backup for Windows
r11.5 that have been verified as existing in the release of
BrightStor ARCserve Backup for Windows r11.5 SP2.
Note: For information added to BrightStor ARCserve Backup
for Windows r11.5 SP3, see the section Known Issues.
If BrightStor ARCserve Backup detects port 111 conflicts,
indicating that it is using the same port number for the CA
Remote Procedure Call server service as a previously
installed portmapper, BrightStor ARCserve Backup
automatically switches to another port number.
To avoid having other software affected by a similar
problem, change the Automatic status of the CA Remote
Procedure Call server service to Manual. If you have
installed BrightStor ARCserve Backup in a Microsoft Cluster
Services environment, change the Automatic status of the CA
Remote Procedure Call server service to Disabled. This
enables you to avoid similar port conflicts after the
system has completed the boot process.
BrightStor ARCserve Backup can work with external
Portmappers (SFU 3.0, Noblenet Portmapper, StorageTek
Libattach etc.). However, during the machine boot up
sequence, BrightStor ARCserve Backup services may try to
initialize before the external portmapper has fully
initialized. Under these circumstances, BrightStor ARCserve
Backup services then fail to initialize. To avoid this
problem, perform the following steps:
- Create the DWORD DelayedRegistration in the following:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\ComputerAssociates\BrightStor ARCserve Backup\Base\Portmap
- Assign a decimal value for this key, indicating the number
of minutes BrightStor ARCserve Backup services wait before
initializing portmapper registration. For example,
DelayedRegistration=2 causes all BrightStor ARCserve Backup
services to start, but not register with the portmapper for
two minutes after startup.
The following issues relating to the BrightStor ARCserve
Backup base product are known to exist in this release:
- If you select a non-default IP address for a client agent
node, you must perform the following procedure to update
the IP address to the new address, to allow you to add
machines using AutoDiscovery:
- On the agent machine, restart the discovery service
(dsconfig.exe).
- From the Backup Manager of the base server, delete the old
machine object.
- On the base server, restart the discovery service or launch
AutoDiscovery using dsconfig.exe.
- From the Backup Manager, add the machine with the new IP
address using AutoDiscovery.
- If you have a scheduled job in the queue, delete that job
and recreate it to ensure that it runs properly.
- Due to a netBIOS limitation, computer names longer than 15
characters are truncated to 15 characters, including when
you set up a host server.
- If you install Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1 using an
Emulex Fibre Channel Card, you must download the latest
Windows 2003 Storport HBA drivers from the Emulex website.
A problem with the Emulex driver released with Windows 2003
SP1 prevents BrightStor ARCserve Backup from initializing
correctly unless you update the Emulex driver.
- If you use Windows 2003 server with Service Pack 1 and the
firewall enabled or if you upgrade your Windows XP system
with Windows XP Service Pack 2, the upgrade to Service Pack
2 enables the firewall and blocks all ports by default. You
must perform one of the following procedures to use
BrightStor ARCserve Backup with Windows XP Service Pack 2.
Note: These methods can be applied to Windows 2003 Server
systems with Service Pack 1 and the firewall enabled.
Method 1 (recommended):
- In the Start menu, click Run, enter gpedit.msc, and press
Enter.
Note: This step does not apply to Windows 2003 Server SP1.
- The Group Policy configuration GUI appears. In the Group
Policy Configuration GUI, select Local Computer Policy,
Computer Configuration, Windows Setting, Security Setting,
Local Policy, Security Option.
Note: This step does not apply to Windows 2003 Server SP1.
- Change the setting Network access:Sharing and security
model for local accounts to Classic - local users
authenticate as themselves.
Note: This step does not apply to Windows 2003 Server SP1.
- The following key RPC and subkey RestrictRemoteClients must
be created manually and the value set to 0:
[DWORD]HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows NT\RPC\RestrictRemoteClients
Note: This step does not apply to Windows 2003 Server SP1.
- Access the Security Center (on Windows XP SP2) or Windows
Firewall (on Windows 2003 Server SP1) and enable the
firewall.
- Add the following executables (if applicable) to the
Security Center exception list (these can be found in the
CA BrightStor ARCserve home directory):
– caauthd.exe
– cadiscovd.exe
– caloggerd.exe
– casdscsvc.exe
– caserved.exe
– casmrtbk.exe
– catirpc.exe
– dbeng.exe
– jobeng.exe
– ldbserver.exe
– lqserver.exe
– mediasvr.exe
– msgeng.exe
– tapeeng.exe
– univagent.exe (if the Client Agent is installed)
– carunjob.exe
– dbasvr.exe (if any database agents are installed)
– dbasqlr.exe (if the Agent for Microsoft SQL Server is
installed)
– dbaexchr.exe (if the Agent for Microsoft Exchange Server
is installed)
- If you have the Client Agent or any database agent
installed, on the Exceptions tab, select File and Printer
Sharing.
- Restart the Windows XP Service Pack 2 machine and start
BrightStor ARCserve Backup services.
Method 2:
- In the Start menu, click Run, enter gpedit.msc, and press
Enter.
- The Group Policy configuration GUI appears. In the Group
Policy Configuration GUI, select Local Computer Policy,
Computer Configuration, Windows Setting, Security Setting,
Local Policy, Security Option.
- Change the setting Network access:Sharing and security
model for local accounts to Classic - local users
authenticate as themselves.
Note: This is the default setting on Windows 2003 Server
SP1.
- The following key RPC and subkey RestrictRemoteClients must
be created manually and the value set to 0:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows NT\RPC\RestrictRemoteClients
- Access the Security Center and turn the firewall off.
- Restart the Windows XP Service Pack 2 machine and start the
BrightStor ARCserve Backup services.
- If you use the Master Setup to install BrightStor ARCserve
Backup remotely to a system in another Windows domain, you
may receive a message indicating that the installation
failed even if it is successful because the Master Setup
cannot accurately detect the activity on the remote machine
in the other domain because of firewalls or due to lost
network connections. Check the installation status on the
remote machine to verify that the installation succeeded.
- If you enable both Success and Failure for Audit object
access under Local Security Policy, Local Policies, Local
Audit Policy, you may receive multiple Success Audit
messages under Security Events in the Event Viewer. To
avoid receiving multiple Success Audit messages, perform
the following procedure:
- Create a key called MessageEngine Under the following
registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ComputerAssociates\BrightStor ARCserve Backup\Base\Admin
- Create a DWORD value called Impersonate under the following
key and set it to 0:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ComputerAssociates\BrightStor ARCserve Backup\Base\Admin\MessageEngine
- Reboot the Windows system.
- NetWare Services no longer appear under the Network branch
in the Backup and Restore Managers and BrightStor ARCserve
Backup only supports Client Agent for NetWare backups when
creating NetWare sessions from a BrightStor ARCserve Backup
for Windows host.
- If you import a DLTWORM-capable media into a library which
has not converted to WORM yet, the Quick erase and Convert
to WORM media option is disabled. You must perform a full
inventory of tapes to enable this option.
- If you use WORM media as the destination for any
cross-platform jobs involving the BrightStor ARCserve
Backup for UNIX Agent for Oracle or the BrightStor ARCserve
Backup for Linux Agent for Oracle, these agents may not
behave as expected. Child jobs are submitted by the agent,
and, because WORM media is not supported on the UNIX or
Linux agents, these child jobs may use destinations other
than the WORM media.
- When configuring the primary and secondary servers in a
domain, the configuration must be same on all machines in
the domain. You must define the secondary name when you
install the primary to allow the secondary server
information to be validated for security reasons. You can
reconfigure the secondary name using the command line
utility ca_conf.exe or edit the config\discovery.cfg file
in the BrightStor ARCserve Backup installation folder.
- Installing 32-bit components on a 64-bit machine generates
two copies of the file PortsConfig.cfg on the machine. The
PortsConfig.cfg file for the 64-bit components is in
C:\Program Files\CA\SharedComponents\BrightStor and the
PortsConfig.cfg file for the 32-bit components is in
C:\Program Files (x86)\CA\SharedComponents\BrightStor. If
you make changes to one, you must make the same changes to
the other, or the components may not be able to contact one
another.
- Media checks using the Preflight Check are not supported
for Disk Staging jobs.
- In database agent backup operations using the Staging
option, the backup method is set as a local option but copy
and purge policies are set as global options.
- If you install agents on cluster nodes, do not back up the
physical nodes (the private drives C: and D:) or non-shared
disks through preferred share using the virtual server IP
address, because virtual servers can be moved from one node
to another. For example, if virtual server 1 resides on
physical node 1 and you backed up virtual server 1 through
preferred share, the non-shared drives on physical node 1
are also backed up. If you move virtual server 1 to
physical node 2, and perform a Restore to Original
Location, the non-shared drives from physical node 1 are
restored to physical node 2.
- When you upgrade from older versions of BrightStor ARCserve
Backup, tapes with lowercase letters in the tape names are
listed in the Session View of the Restore Manager using all
uppercase letters. In addition, you cannot expand the tape
in the Session View. To address this problem, perform the
following procedure:
- In the Database Manager, expand the Media Records. The tape
name appears at least twice, once in uppercase letters and
at least once in lowercase letters.
- Delete the uppercase entry. The Restore Manager displays
the tape name and details correctly.
- During uninstallation of BrightStor ARCserve Backup from
non-primary cluster nodes perform the following procedure:
- In the base home directory, run the following command to
unregister the ashell.dll file from non-primary cluster
nodes:
RegSvr32 /u <original full installation path of ashell.dll>
- Log off from all login sessions, both local and remote (you
do not have to reboot).
- Uninstall BrightStor ARCserve Backup from the primary
cluster node.
- Log back in to each non-primary cluster node, copy the
required modules for uninstallation, and continue with the
uninstallation procedure.
- When you uninstall BrightStor ARCserve Backup from
non-primary cluster nodes, some files may be left in the
BrightStor ARCserve Backup home directory and some registry
keys may be left in the following:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\SharedDLLs
You must remove the files and clean up the registry
manually.
- If you use the ca_conf command line utility to change the
BrightStor ARCserve Backup domain name to a new domain
name, you will encounter the following problems:
- The caroot password is reset to blank
- Equivalences are reset for all users
- The caroot password cannot be reset using the bconfig.exe
utility
To correct these problems, run the ca_conf utility and
perform the following procedure:
- Set the password for the caroot user using the authsetup
command line utility with the following syntax:
authsetup /p <new carootPassword>
This command also creates equivalence for the user
currently logged into BrightStor ARCserve Backup.
- Recreate the equivalences for all users manually.
For more information, see the ca_auth Command section of
the Using Command Line Utilities appendix of the
Administrator Guide.
The following issues related to the Client Agent are known
to exist in this release:
- For the Client Agent for Windows, installing 32-bit
components on a 64-bit machine generates two copies of the
file PortsConfig.cfg on the machine. The PortsConfig.cfg
file for the 64-bit components is in C:\Program
Files\CA\SharedComponents\BrightStor and the
PortsConfig.cfg file for the 32-bit components is in
C:\Program Files (x86)\CA\SharedComponents\BrightStor. If
you make changes to one, you must make the same changes to
the other, or the components may not be able to contact one
another.
- You cannot use the Client Agent for NetWare included in
this release with the BrightStor ARCserve Backup for
NetWare r11.1 Manager. The Client Agent for NetWare
included in this release requires the BrightStor ARCserve
Backup for Windows r11.5 Manager GUI.
- When running the Client Agent for NetWare on NetWare 4.2,
the agent requires the clibaux.nlm enhancement module
provided by Novell (refer to Novell Technical Information
Document 2955000).
- When a full NetWare machine is selected for backup, the NDS
session is not backed up. You must explicitly select the
NDS session and other volumes to be backed up.
- The Client Agent for NetWare handles only one job at a
time. If a backup job includes the NetWare volume and NDS
of the same node, it creates two nodes for the job in the
job package, and, because multiplexing or multistreaming
jobs create two jobs for the NetWare node and the two jobs
run simultaneously, the agent rejects the second job.
- The NetWare Services branch has been removed from the
Network tree in the Backup and Restore Managers. To back up
a NetWare machine from the BrightStor ARCserve Backup host,
you must install the Client Agent for NetWare on the
machine.
- Whole node backup operations are not supported with the
Client Agent for AS400.
The following issues related to the Agent for IBM Informix
are known to exist in this release:
- Your Informix server should be installed on a Windows NT
4.0 or Windows 2000 machine in a Windows Domain. If you
install Informix on a standalone Windows NT 4.0 server or a
Windows NT workstation, the Informix backup utility does
not allow you to back up your database to a remote
BrightStor ARCserve Backup server. You must use the Backup
and Restore Managers from BrightStor ARCserve Backup to
submit the backup and restore jobs.
- If you use the Informix Backup and Restore utility, rather
than the Backup Manager, you must define security
information using the Informix Agent Configuration utility
dbacfg before submitting any backup or restore jobs.
- When using remote BrightStor ARCserve Backup to back up or
restore Informix server, the real backup and restore jobs
created by the Informix Server are scheduled on the
BrightStor ARCserve Backup server based on the local time
from the Informix server. Therefore, time differences
between the BrightStor ARCserve Backup machine and the
Informix server machine can cause backup or restore delay.
To prevent this delay, synchronize the time between both
machines.
- When using the Client Agent with the Restore by Tree method
for your restore operation, databases appear under the
Microsoft Windows Network icon in the Restore Manager.
- The agent supports only the Restore by Tree method in the
Restore Manager.
- For remote backups, you must enable File and Printer
Sharing for Microsoft Networks on the agent machine you are
backing up.
- The NetLogon service must be started to support
pass-through authentication of account logon events for
computers in a domain.
The following issues relating to the Agent for Microsoft
SharePoint are known to exist in this release:
- If a Microsoft SQL database is backed up using both the
Agent for Microsoft SQL Server and the Agent for Microsoft
SharePoint, the backup history for the database in the
SharePoint branch of Restore by Tree will only include
backups performed using the Agent for Microsoft SharePoint,
while the backup history for the database in the Microsoft
SQL Server branch of Restore by Tree lists all backups
performed using both agents. This issue also applies to the
Agent for Microsoft SQL Server.
- If the Agent for Microsoft SQL Server and the database
component of the Agent for Microsoft SharePoint are both
deployed on the same machine, the SharePoint databases are
included in whole-instance backups performed by the Agent
for Microsoft SQL Server. This issue also applies to the
Agent for Microsoft SQL Server.
- The username entered in the Agent for Microsoft SharePoint
Configuration Wizard must have administrative access to all
machines in the SharePoint server farm.
- Performance may be slowed when backing up or restoring
search indexes, as these operations may consume 100% of
your CPU resources if the SharePoint server used satisfies
only the minimum hardware requirements for Microsoft
SharePoint Portal Server. See the Microsoft SharePoint
Portal Server Administrator's Guide for more information
about hardware requirements.
The following issues relating to the Agent for Microsoft
SQL Server are known to exist in this release:
- If a Microsoft SQL database is backed up using both the
Agent for Microsoft SQL Server and the Agent for Microsoft
SharePoint, the backup history for the database in the
SharePoint branch of Restore by Tree will only include
backups performed using the Agent for Microsoft SharePoint,
while the backup history for the database in the Microsoft
SQL Server branch of Restore by Tree lists all backups
performed using both agents. This issue also applies to the
Agent for Microsoft SharePoint.
- If the Agent for Microsoft SQL Server and the database
component of the Agent for Microsoft SharePoint are both
deployed on the same machine, the SharePoint databases are
included in whole-instance backups performed by the Agent
for Microsoft SQL Server. This issue also applies to the
Agent for Microsoft SharePoint.
- Installing 32-bit components on a 64-bit machine generates
two copies of the file PortsConfig.cfg on the machine. The
PortsConfig.cfg file for the 64-bit components is in
C:\Program Files\CA\SharedComponents\BrightStor and the
PortsConfig.cfg file for the 32-bit components is in
C:\Program Files (x86)\CA\SharedComponents\BrightStor. If
you make changes to one, you must make the same changes to
the other, or the components may not be able to contact one
another.
- After upgrading Microsoft SQL Server (for example, from SQL
Server 7.0 to SQL Server 2000) or installing additional
instances, you must run the Account Configuration utility
to update the agent with the appropriate changes. If you do
not run the Account Configuration utility, BrightStor
ARCserve Backup Agent for Microsoft SQL Server will be
unaware of the new or changed instances, and you may not
have access to additional instances or the additional
features of the updated instance. You should also perform
your first backup of the upgraded or new instances
immediately after running the Account Configuration
utility. For information about account configuration, see
the Agent for Microsoft SQL Server Guide.
- If an error message appears when you restore and move a
database that uses a long file name, rename the database
files using shorter file names, and perform the restore
operation on the database.
- When backing up or restoring a remote SQL database using
the TCP/IP protocol, the TCPtimeout parameter defines how
long the BrightStor ARCserve Backup Server waits for a
response from the agent. This prevents problems such as
network errors from causing jobs to wait forever for a
response that might not come. Once this time-out period is
expired, the waiting job fails with a network error.
However, when a large remote SQL database is restored,
particularly when it involves creation of SQL data files,
such as when you restore to a different SQL Server, the
agent for SQL cannot reply immediately because SQL Server
takes some time to create the files, and the agent must
wait for this to complete before it can respond.
The default timeout value is set to 1200 seconds (20
minutes). This should be extended when you restore a large
SQL database involving large data file creations. A large
SQL database (60 GB) might require the value to be as long
as 7200 seconds (120 minutes). In general, the default
value (1200) can handle most SQL database restores, as well
as network errors. However, if you have a network error on
a large SQL database restore operation, you should increase
the time-out value. After the restore is done, reset the
value to 1200.
The SQL Agent TCPtimeout key can be found on the BrightStor
ARCserve Backup Server machine under:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ComputerAssociates\BrightStor ARCserve Backup\Base\Task\Common\DBAgentsettings
- The Microsoft Windows 2003 SharePoint database is stored in
a Microsoft SQL Server Desktop Engine (MSDE) instance. The
SharePoint instance does not support SQL-native
authentication. You must use Windows authentication for
this database instance.
- Several MSDE-based applications do not include a System
Administrator account. The application vendor may provide a
backup user with only Backup Operator rights. These MSDE
instances must be backed up using Named Pipes. If you are
not certain whether your MSDE instance has this
restriction, contact your application vendor.
If BrightStor ARCserve Backup and the MSDE application with
this requirement are installed on separate computers, you
must specify the Named Pipes backup method. To specify the
Named Pipes backup method, in the Backup Manager,
right-click the MSDE database, select Remote Protocol, and
choose Named Pipes.
If BrightStor ARCserve Backup and the MSDE application are
installed on the same computer, you must direct BrightStor
ARCserve Backup to consider the MSDE database as if it were
on a different machine. To do this, perform the following
steps:
- Open the Registry Editor, and find the following registry
key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ComputerAssociates\BrightStor ARCserve Backup\Base\Task\Common\DBAgentsettings
- In this registry key, add a DWORD Value called
DBLocalAsRemote and set its value to 1.
- In the Backup Manager, add a second entry for the local
computer in either the Windows 2000/Windows XP/Windows 2003
Systems or Preferred Shares folder. Expand this new entry
to find the MSDE database. Right-click the MSDE database,
select Remote Protocol, and choose Named Pipes.
- Backup with Compare and Backup with Scan Tape are not
performed on agent sessions.
- If using the BrightStor ARCserve Backup Client Agent and
the Restore by Tree method for your restore operation,
databases are displayed under the Microsoft Windows Network
icon in the Restore Manager.
- The BrightStor ARCserve Backup manager and the BrightStor
ARCserve Backup Client Agent must be stopped before
uninstalling and reinstalling BrightStor ARCserve Backup
Agent for Microsoft SQL Server if they are installed on the
same server as the agent.
- If a TCP/IP connection fails, or if the Port number has
changed, restart the Backup Agent Remote Service.
- If you are performing a remote backup, File and Printer
Sharing for Microsoft Networks must be enabled on the agent
machine you are backing up.
- To support pass-through authentication of account logon
events for computers in a domain, the NetLogon service must
be started.
- If you are using the current version of BrightStor ARCserve
Backup and BrightStor ARCserve Backup Agent for Microsoft
SQL Server to restore a backup made using BrightStor
ARCserve 2000 or an older version of BrightStor ARCserve
Backup, and you are using the Named Pipes protocol, perform
the following procedure on the computer running the
BrightStor ARCserve Backup Server:
- Open the Registry Editor and select the key
KEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ComputerAssociates\
BrightStor ARCserve SBackup\Base\Task\Common\DBAgentsSettings
- In the Edit menu, select New> DWORD Value. Set the name of
this value to SQLProtocol and its value to 0.
- Resubmit the restore job.
- After all restore operations using these backups are
completed, return to the Registry Editor and delete the
SQLProtocol value.
- When using Multistriping to back up databases from
Microsoft SQL Server 7.0, the child jobs cannot obtain size
estimates. While you can view progress in terms of the
amount of data backed up, there is no accurate display of
the total size of the database, nor of the percentage of
the backup completed.
- If you are using an agent from a version of BrightStor
ARCserve Backup prior to r11 or from a version of
BrightStor Enterprise Backup prior to Version 10.5 Service
Pack 1, incremental backup jobs cannot determine if a
transaction log backup is permitted. Therefore,
differential backups are performed.
- If you are using an agent from a version of BrightStor
ARCserve Backup before r11.1 or any version of BrightStor
Enterprise Backup, differential and incremental backup jobs
cannot automatically identify new databases that require
full backup rather than differential or transaction log
backup.
- When you log into SQL Server using Windows authentication
to perform local or TCP-based backup and restore
operations, you must have system administrator rights for
SQL Server. This is a Microsoft requirement.
- If you uninstall a Microsoft SQL Server or MSDE instance,
some components used by other Microsoft SQL Server or MSDE
instances on the machine may be deregistered, including the
Virtual Devices mechanism used to perform backups. If this
occurs, the agent generates Backup Agent Error 511 (“Error
creating Virtual Device Interface: COM class not found”)
within the error E8604 (“Failed to Start Backup”), or E8605
(“Failed to Start Restore”). To address this error, perform
the following procedure:
- Locate the version of sqlvdi.dll that belongs to the newest
version of Microsoft SQL Server or MSDE on the machine.
- From a command prompt, change to the directory containing
the selected sqlvdi.dll, and enter the following command to
reregister the Virtual Devices component and re-enable
backup operations:
regsvr32 sqlvdi.dll
The following issues related to the Agent for Open Files
are known to exist in this release:
- If you are upgrading the Agent for Open Files on a remote
computer using Unicenter Software Delivery, you must reboot
the target machine to complete the installation process
successfully.
- If you are running eTrust AntiVirus 7.1.192 and the Agent
for Open Files on the same machine, you must apply a patch
to the machine to avoid experiencing slow performance.
Contact eTrust Antivirus Technical Support to obtain this
patch.
- The Agent for Open Files does not provide the eTrust
Real-Time scan engine with access to open files to prevent
viruses from presenting the scan engine with a version of
the infected file concealed as an uninfected file.
- When prompted to reboot your machine during remote
installation, reboot the machine manually for the remote
installation to be successful.
- The agent may not start if it detects that an Open File
Management product from another vendor is already running
on the server. Multiple Open File Management products
cannot function on the same server. To resolve this
problem, remove the existing Open File Management product
from your server and start the agent.
- Because of the way that Windows 2000, Windows Server 2003,
and Windows XP provide access to encrypted files for backup
applications, access to open files is never prevented, so
data integrity is not guaranteed. Therefore, the Windows
Server Engine does not support the use of encrypted files
and their inclusion in a group specification is ignored.
Ensure that all encrypted files are closed while your
systems are backed up.
- To uninstall the NetWare Server Engine, you must manually
delete the directory you selected during installation and
remove the OFA.NLM file from the SYS:SYSTEM directory.
Additionally, you must undo any changes you made to the
NetWare autoexec.ncf file.
- The NetWare Server Engine supports NetWare 5.1 but it does
not support open files on NSS (Novell Storage Services)
volumes.
- The NetWare Server Engine automatically excludes the
default virtual memory swap file on the SYS volume from
open file operations. Any swap files on additional volumes
must be excluded using the Configuration dialog from the
Agent for Open Files Console. Alternatively, configure your
backup product to exclude these files. If the swap file is
backed up, it may cause the agent to write swap file data
to its Preview Data Cache.
- When running the Agent for Open Files Console on Windows 98
and Windows Me, you cannot access the Status, Logfile, or
Configure dialogs for an IPX-only NetWare server, even
though the agent may be indicated as active on that server.
If you try to access these dialogs, you receive an Error
Message stating that the agent is not available.
The following issues related to the Agent for Sybase are
known to exist in this release:
- For remote backups, you must enable File and Printer
Sharing for Microsoft Networks on the agent machine you are
backing up.
- To support pass-through authentication of account logon
events for computers in a domain, the NetLogon service must
be started.
- The agent does not support table-level backup or restore
operations.
- We recommend that you avoid canceling restore jobs. If you
cancel a restore job, your database is marked Do Not
Recover or Suspect. If this happens, you must recreate the
database before starting another restore job.
- The Backup with Compare and Backup with Scan Tape options
are not supported for agent sessions. Additionally, the
Backup with Delete File option is not supported on agent
sessions.
- When Sybase Adaptive Server devices are mirrored, only the
actual device information (the database on the device) is
backed up; data in the mirror device is not backed up.
- When you use the Client Agent with the Restore by Tree
method, databases appear under the Microsoft Windows
Network icon in the Restore Manager.
- Alias names for Windows servers are not supported for
database backup or restore operations using the Client
Agent for Windows.
- The agent does not support multiserver and cluster
environment backup or restore operations.
- The agent supports only the Restore by Tree and Restore by
Session options.
- For Sybase ASE 12.5, if the configuration parameter Enable
xact coordination is set to On (the default setting), you
cannot restore some Sybase system databases, such as
sybsystemdb and the master database. To restore these
system databases, disable this configuration parameter.
To restore these databases for Sybase ASE 12.5, you must
reset the Sybase ASE 12.5 setting Enable xact coordination
or the restore fails. To reset the Enable xact coordination
parameter, perform the following steps:
- From a DOS command prompt, start isql.
- Enter the command:
1>sp_configure "enable xact coordination", 0
2>go
- Restart the Sybase server.
- If you restore the master database remotely and the Sybase
source instance name is the same as the remote destination
instance name, the job succeeds. However, when the Sybase
source instance name is different from the remote
destination instance name, the job fails.
When you restore the master database, the contents of the
sysservers system table of the master database in the
destination instance is identical to the contents of that
system table in the source instance and the row that
records the Sybase backup server name is incorrect. To
address this issue, update the row using the following SQL
statement:
update sysservers set srvnetname=remote destination Sybase backup server name where srvname="SYB_BACKUP"
Note: This name is case sensitive. You can find this name
in the Windows registry.
To verify, use the following SQL statement:
select * from sysservers where srvname="SYB_BACKUP"
The following issues related to the Disaster Recovery
Option are known to exist in this release:
- The option does not support local backup server recovery
using file system devices located on another remote
machine. In addition, support for using file system devices
on local disks is very restricted. For more information,
see the Disaster Recovery Option Guide.
- When you run a remote recovery and the base is Windows XP
with SP2, you must use different configurations depending
on the version of BrightStor ARCserve Backup used to create
your full backup:
The following issues related to the NDMP NAS Option are
known to exist in this release:
- The EMC Celerra NDMP daemon has a maximum of eight (DART
5.4) concurrent connections. The NDMP NAS Option uses
concurrent and persistent device connections. Each tape
drive and TLU managed by the EMC data mover counts as a
separate connection. Each backup, restore, or browse
function also counts as a separate connection. If you
exceed eight connections, you may encounter problems. We
recommend that you keep this in mind when planning and
implementing your storage topography.
- If you have multiple NIC cards on the backup server, you
cannot connect to the option. To connect to the option, you
must add the loop back address for the backup server to the
hosts file (the entry should be similar to the following):
127.0.0.1 HOSTNAME
- Network Appliance Filers with OnTap 6.2.x and 6.3.x require
a Network Appliance patch to fix a known Direct Access
Restore (DAR) issue with spanned DAR recovery operations.
- Sessions backed up with BrightStor Enterprise Backup 10.0
Service Pack 3 or earlier must have the following registry
key set to 1 before starting a restore operation:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ComputerAssociates\BrightStor ARCserve Backup\NASAgent\Parameters\Use16kBlockonRestore
- The option does not support Job failover.
- You can use Direct Access Restore for files only. If you
restore at least one folder, the restore operation reverts
to scanning the session. This limitation does not apply to
Network Appliance
- Procom does not support multiple backup filters.
- The Backup filter is supported at the volume and folder
level.
- When configuring the agent and the NAS device, you must use
either an IP address or host name for both. Using a mixed
configuration can result in a 3-way backup.
- Dynamic Device sharing (DDS) configuration in a SAN
environment with NAS is not supported on a cross-platform
Windows SAN environment.
- DDS configuration is supported in SAN environments with NAS
on Windows SAN primary servers. This configuration is not
supported on Windows SAN distributed servers.
- BrightStor ARCserve Backup does not support copying NAS
sessions using tapecopy.
- To use DDS on EMC Celerra, you must set the
NDMP.scsiReserve parameter to 0 on the data mover. This
parameter is available starting with release 5.2.15.0. For
more information about this issue, see EMC's Celerra
documentation.
- To allow BrightStor ARCserve Backup to connect to Network
Appliance filers through Preferred Shares, you must create
an ADMIN$ share for the volume containing the /ETC folder
on the NAS server.
Note: Do not back up NAS devices through Preferred Shares,
as it does not utilize the NAS-attached backup device or
the NDMP protocol for proper NAS operating system backup
procedures.
The following issues relating to the Optical Library Option
are known to exist in this release:
- Optical Library Option command line commands are not
supported for the Device Manager.
- The option does not support multistreaming.
- If you receive the error message “Windows – No Disk, There
is no disk in the drive. Please insert a disk into drive
\Device\HardDiskx\DRx,” you must exclude the tapeeng.exe
process from scanning by eTrust. To exclude the tapeeng.exe
process from scanning, perform the following procedure:
- In the Realtime Monitor Options dialog of eTrust, click the
Filters tab.
- On the Filters tab, in the Exclusions group box, click the
Process button. The Exclude Processes dialog opens.
- In the Exclude Processes dialog, enter tapeeng.exe in the
Enter a process name field and click Add. The tapeeng.exe
process appears in the List of Excluded Processes.
- Click OK to close the Exclude Processes dialog and click OK
to exit the Realtime Monitor Options dialog.
The following issues relating to the SAN Option are known
to exist in this release:
- In cross-platform SAN environments, UNIX and NetWare do not
support WORM media.
The following issues relating to the Enterprise Option for
StorageTek ACSLS are known to exist in this release:
When using the Enterprise Option for IBM 3494 with the
Storage Area Network (SAN) Option, the Tape Engine on the
distributed machines may fail. To prevent this failure,
ensure that the most current IBM tape driver is installed
on the primary and distributed machines. To do so, perform
the following procedure on each machine:
- Find the type of IBM drive installed:
- Ultrium (Windows 2000): ibmlto
- Magstar (Windows 2000): magstar
- Ultrium and Magstar (Windows 2003): ibmrmsst or ibmtp2k3
- Find the registry key for this drive in the directory
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\type of IBM drive.
For example, for an Ultrium drive, find the registry key
for the drive in the following directory:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\ibmlto
- Create the DWORD value DisableReserveUponOpen and set it to
1.
- Exit regedit and restart your computer.
Note: For information on installing SAN distributed
servers, see the Storage Area Network (SAN) Option Guide.
The following issues related to the Enterprise Option for
SAP R/3 for Oracle are known to exist in this release:
- The following conditions apply if you are upgrading from
BrightStor ARCserve Backup 2000 to BrightStor ARCserve
Backup for Windows r11.5:
- You must upgrade the option and the base product during the
same installation session.
- If the option is installed on a remote server, use the
following procedure to reconfigure the option installation
on the remote server:
- From the remote server, select Start, select Programs,
Computer Associates, BrightStor ARCserve Backup Agents, and
SAP R/3 Oracle Agent BACKINT Configuration.
- On the Security Information tab, reenter the security
information for the remote server.
- Repeat the previous step as necessary, for all backup or
restore jobs.
- Because all archived redo log files must be removed after
recovery is complete, all Recover Database Using Backup
Control File commands must be followed by the Alter
Database Open Resetlogs command.
- The Backup with Compare and Backup with Scan Tape options
do not apply to sessions using the Serverless Backup Option
when using Oracle. These options apply to Windows only.
- Before you shut down the Oracle Server in normal mode, you
should shut down the local BrightStor ARCserve Backup
Manager and the BrightStor ARCserve Backup Client Agent for
Windows RPC Service.
- When performing a remote backup from the Client Agent for
Windows tree, use the Server NetBIOS name (machine name)
for the agent node name. The Client Agent for Windows you
to specify the Use Computer Name Resolution option or the
IP address to include the databases when backing up the
entire machine.
- BACKINT supports only one instance at a time. If you define
multiple instances, BACKINT saves only the first instance
to the BACKINT registry. The Enterprise Option for SAP R/3
for Oracle Configuration utility modifies the information
for this instance. For BACKINT to support other instances,
change the SID value in the BACKINT registry, and rename
the initSID.utl in %ORACLE_HOME%\database to your SID.
- When you use BRRESTORE to restore objects to different
destinations, if BrightStor ARCserve Backup is not
installed on the local machine, BACKINT restores these
objects to the remote server on which BrightStor ARCserve
Backup is located.
- When you use the Client Agent for Windows with the Restore
by Tree method for your restore operation, databases appear
under the Microsoft Windows Network icon in the Restore
Manager.
- For remote backups, you must enable File and Printer
Sharing for Microsoft Networks on the agent machine you are
backing up.
- The NetLogon service must be started to support
pass-through authentication of account logon events for
computers in a domain.
- The option only supports the BACKINT command interface.
The following issues related to the Client for VSS Software
Snap-shot are known to exist in this release:
- Incremental and differential backups are supported for the
Exchange Writer only.
The following section provides information regarding issues
relating to the integration of BrightStor ARCserve Backup
r11.5 with BrightStor® Portal r11.1 known to exist in this
release:
- If you plan to use the BrightStor Portal to manage and
report on BrightStor ARCserve Backup, you must ensure that
you have applied the latest patches for BrightStor Portal
r11.1. These patches are available at
http://supportconnect.ca.com. For more information, see the
iGateway and iSponsor readme documentation included with
