Best Practices for Upgrading CA ARCserve Backup from a Previous Release How to Upgrade Multiple ARCserve Servers Sharing a Database to a Centralized Management Environment Complete the following tasks to upgrade multiple ARCserve servers sharing a database to a centrally managed ARCserve domain. 1. Install the CA ARCserve Backup Primary Server on the system that will function as the Primary server. Note: Setup installs the Central Management Option when you install the CA ARCserve Backup Primary Server. You can specify Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Express or Microsoft SQL Server for the CA ARCserve Backup database. When you are prompted, migrate the data from the previous release to the new database. 2. Install the CA ARCserve Backup Member Server on all servers that will function as members of the new ARCserve domain. When you are prompted, migrate the data from the previous release to the new database. 3. Verify the installation. 4. (Optional) CA ARCserve Backup does not support recovering the CA ARCserve Backup database when the last backup of the CA ARCserve Backup database was completed before you upgraded to this release. As a best practice, you should back up the CA ARCserve Backup database as soon as possible after the upgrade is complete. For information about backing up the CA ARCserve Backup database, see the Administration Guide. More information: Upgrade Considerations (see page 57) Upgrade CA ARCserve Backup from a Previous Release (see page 101) How to Verify a Centralized Management Environment Upgrade To ensure that your CA ARCserve Backup installation functions properly, complete the following tasks: 1. Open the CA ARCserve Backup Manager Console on the primary server. 2. Open the Server Admin. Ensure that the domain directory tree displays the names of the primary server and all of the member servers in your ARCserve domain.
