Marketing description

Arcserve Backup is a comprehensive storage solution for applications, databases, distributed servers, and file systems. It provides backup and restore capabilities for databases, business-critical applications, and network clients. Among the compatible agents Arcserve Backup offers are a specific set of operating-system-based client agents.
The client agents are separate software packages installed on network computers to supply a network interface between the computer and Arcserve Backup. In addition to enabling connectivity, the client agents share data storage tasks with the backup servers in your network. You may need multiple client agents, depending on the number and variety of network machines that require regular data backup and restore functionality.
