Introduction
Arcserve UDP Agent (Linux)
Arcserve UDP Agent (Linux) is a disk-based backup product that is designed for
Linux operating systems. It provides a fast, simple, and reliable way to protect and
recover critical business information. Arcserve UDP Agent (Linux) tracks changes on
a node at the block level and then backs up only those changed blocks in an incre-
mental process. As a result, it lets you perform frequent backups, reducing the size
of each incremental backup (and the backup window) and providing a more up-to-
date backup. Arcserve UDP Agent (Linux) also provides the capability to restore
files or folders and perform a bare metal recovery (BMR) from a single backup.
You can store the backup information either on a Network File System (NFS) share
or in the Common Internet File System (CIFS) share, in the backup source node.
The latest version of Arcserve UDP Agent (Linux) is preinstalled in a virtual machine
within the appliance. This virtual machine becomes the Linux Backup Server. Arc-
serve UDP Agent (Linux) is installed at the default installation path in the Arcserve
Appliance.
When you open the Console, the Linux Backup Server is already added to the Con-
sole. The native host name of the Linux Backup Server is
Linux-BackupSvr
. However,
on the Console, the Linux Backup Server adopts the host name of the Appliance
with port 8018 configuration. The Linux Backup Server works behind NAT through
port direction. The Linux Backup Server uses port 8018 to communicate and trans-
fer data in the Arcserve Appliance.
