CA®/BrightStor ARCserve9™ Backup Software
The CA BrightStor ARCserve9 Backup program can be installed on the TANDBERG NAS and launched from a browser. You can use this software to manage either an autoloader or tape drive that comes with your TANDBERG NAS or any other network backup devices. Use CAArcServe9-1.7.service (version 4.2.2), CAArcServe9-1.13.service (version 5.0), or CAArcServe9-1.18.service (for version 5.1 or later) and the CABrightStor9.0.iso file. Both are available from TANDBERG. OS version 5.0 must be running on the NAS to support version 1.13. OS version 5.1 or later must be running on the NAS to support version 1.18. After an initial 30-day trial period, you must purchase feature-based license keys from an authorized Tandberg/CA reseller in order to continue using this software.Installing and Using the Service Program on the T

From the Maintain menu, open the /extra dialog and select Configure. Note that if the options on the /extra dialog are grayed out, you must first create a volume and share. 14. For the license key section shown in Figure 8, you may try all features of the backup
program free during the trial period. Enter no data and select the Install button to start the process. The installation takes about ten minutes, during which many messages will scroll down the screen. You need not respond to them. The final message should say “Configuration Successful.”

Basic Setup
Tandberg Tape Drive Setup
If you have a standard Tandberg tape drive, the steps below should allow you to setup CA ARCserve to recognize your hardware and schedule backup jobs between the NAS and tape drive. (If you have an autoloader, see instructions in the autoloader setup section.) The CA BrightStor ARCserve9 backup program comes with detailed documentation and on-line Help. If the brief steps below are insufficient, see the CA documentation.
When the ARCserve9 interface (Figure 11) first appears, select the Logon button to open the Domain Login dialog. Enter the User ID (caroot) and the password you selected in the steps above. Anytime CA asks for your username and password, caroot and the password you entered during installation should work.
1. Use the hyperlink (Figure 10) to open the CA top-level menu (Figure 11) and
select Device Manager.
2. From the Device pull-down menu, select Device Group Configuration. 3. Select Device, and verify that the tape
drive is listed in a similar manner as shown below.
Figure 12.b Device listing showing drive 4. You may now format your media or
run a backup. To run a backup from the primary ARCserve9 menu, start by selecting Backup Manager.
5. To identify the Source (shares to be backed up), look for the NAS ID under UNIX Agents. Click the green boxes of the shares you want to back up, as shown in Figure 13.
6. Select the Destination tab. Make sure the tape drive is listed. Assign a media name to back up to, if desired.
7. Select the traffic light to schedule the backup.
Figure 13. Device listing showing drive
See your ARCserve documentation for information on setting up an automated backup rotation schedule.
Required Modification for AutoLoader
The existing configuration is not correctly set for an Autoloader. You need to manually modify the assigned configuration in order to correctly manipulate the Autoloader. This can be accomplished by the following process:
Figure 14. Library Groups with Autoloader & Drive 2. On the next dialog, select Device
Group Configuration.
3. Delete “Group 0” from the “Drive” display.
4. Select Library, and create a new group. 5. Select slots and assign the available
drive into the new group. It should now look as shown in Figure 14.
6. Follow the backup steps above. Note that for Destination, the backup media name is listed within the autoloader.
Tandberg Menu Bar Options for CA Brightstor ARCserve9 Support
The menu below appears at the base of the dialog shown in Figure 10. It provides several Tandberg NAS Options for CA Brightstor ARCserve9 Support.
Figure 15. Menu of Tandberg NAS Options for CA Brightstor ARCserve9 Support Status - Status opens a display
that indicates the status of several CA daemons. If the daemons are running, the status page will appear like the page shown here.
You can use the Stop/ Start All toggle button to place the daemons on line or to take them off line.
If any of the required daemons are not running, select Stop All,
Figure 17. Edit Configuration If this does not work, consult
CA documentation or contact CA Technical Support. Edit Conf – To edit the agent configuration, click on Edit
Conf. After editing the
configuration, you can save them with the Save button or restore to the factory default configuration with the Restore
Default button. The top of the
file provides editing informa-tion. For more information, read CA documentation or contact CA Technical Support. Manage Logs – This dialog allows you to save space by clearing selected logs.
Figure 19. Edit Configuration
Figure 20. Backup to Disk
Figure 21. CA Device Manager Debugging – Allows you to
set a variety of messaging options. Click on a daemon name for additional informa-tion about message type options for that activity. Backup to Disk – Allows you to select a NAS volume for backup in place of (or in addition to) other media. Checking a volume and choosing Add followed by Configure designates that volume for backup via the CA interface. Un-checking an active backup volume takes it off line without removing any backup data stored on it, allowing you to reactivate the backup at a later time. The Remove option deletes the CA back-up designation including the backed up data.
Once the volume has been added, from the CA interface select Device Manager, select
Device for a pull-down menu,
and select Device Group Configuration. Note in the example how disk backup is listed as Group 1, which can be used a backup destination. Reset Password – Allows you to reset the password to the factory default password.
