3Chapter Backing Up Data BrightStor ARCserve Backup allows you to back up most machines attached to your Windows network using one of the following sources: ■ Administrative shared drives ■ User-shared files, directories, and drives Because BrightStor ARCserve Backup separates and lists Windows machines by the domain or workgroup to which they belong, you can easily back up all the machines belonging to a specific domain or workgroup, by selecting the name of the domain or workgroup. The optional BrightStor ARCserve Backup Client Agents allow you to communicate with remote workstations in various environments. This provides complete system backups, including system information from non-Windows systems, such as NetWare or UNIX. Similarly, the optional Backup Agents allow BrightStor ARCserve Backup to back up and restore online databases such as MS Exchange, Lotus Domino, MS SQL Server, Oracle, and IBM Informix. If you have Unicenter NSM installed, you can use the monitoring agent to monitor BrightStor ARCserve Backup. This agent can be used to start and stop services, monitor the status of the BrightStor ARCserve Backup processes and media, and report on the failure of backup jobs. For more information, see The Unicenter Monitoring Agent in the chapter, "Managing the Database and Reporting." Backing Up Data 3-1
