Deploy CA ARCserve Backup Server on MSCS Which CA ARCserve Backup database type to use? CA ARCserve Backup primary server supports using a local Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Express Edition installation and a local or remote Microsoft SQL Server installation as the back-end database. However, a cluster-aware primary server only supports the following scenarios: ■ Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Express Edition (SQLE) If you do not purchase a SQL Server cluster and can accept the limitations imposed by SQL Server 2008 Express, it is the best choice. Note: In a MSCS cluster environment, if the ARCserve database (ASDB) is SQLE, the CA ARCserve Backup the database summary (on the Database manager) will display the physical name of the install path instead of the virtual name. ■ Local Microsoft SQL Server Cluster If there is existing SQL Server cluster in your production environment, you can use it as the database for CA ARCserve Backup. Note: CA ARCserve Backup does not support local installations of Microsoft SQL Server for the CA ARCserve Backup database in NEC CLUSTERPRO/ExpressCluster environments. ■ Remote Microsoft SQL Server You can also select a remote SQL Server as the CA ARCserve Backup database, which should safely provide 24x7 stable services.
