CA OEM BrightStor ARCserve Backup for Laptops and Desktops r11.1, EN CD W32 3pk BLAPDSKAPOEM03 User Manual

• Deleted File Retention Rules. Provides

the option to keep deleted files for a

period of time, keep them indefinitely or

remove them permanently; files can also

be deleted after a predefined number of

backups. This enables adherence to 

corporate file retention standards.

• Idle-Time Backup. Administrators can

specify that a scheduled backup performs

only when the user machine is not in use,

allowing for non-disruptive backups.

• Backup Acceleration. Backup Acceleration

uses the File Change Reorder algorithm to

detect new, changed or deleted files,

eliminating the need to perform disk 

scanning for every backup. This increases

backup speed and minimizes resource

consumption.

• New Reports. BrightStor ARCserve

Backup for Laptops & Desktops includes 

a number of new and enhanced reports,

including: Activity Report, Analyzer

Report, Backup Log, Data Growth Jobs

Report, Migrated Files Report and

Restore Report, among others.

• Standard and Expert User Graphical

User Interfaces (GUIs). The user interface

is customized for administrators and clients.

Two different levels of users — expert and

standard — comprise the client component.

For standard users, a simplified GUI enables

them to perform basic data backups and

restores. The expert user is able to set

backup and restore options and define

connections preferences within the

expert GUI.

• Drag-and-Drop of Data to be Backed up.

You can drag and drop directories and

files into a backup set.

• Establishment of User Accounts. The

process for establishing new user accounts

has been simplified so that only a single

dialog is required. For standard users, the

administrator can preconfigure the backup

and restore privileges.

• New Restore Log. In addition to the

existing backup log, a new log is created

when a user restores data. The log files

are sent to the server to facilitate report

generation.
