Hello and welcome to the CA ARCserve D2D How To Video Series. This is Get Started with D2D.
Open the application either from the Windows Start menu, or the system tray icon.
Enter a user name and password and click Log In.
D2D displays the Getting Started Window.
D2D shows this window every time you launch the product, unless you disable it.
This is the D2D interface.
which lets you manage backup servers
monitor job performance
obtain backup statistics,
initiate data protection tasks,
socialize with the user community and get help,
all from a single, easy-to-read home page.
Let's take a closer look at the Home Page
starting with the job monitor.
After D2D is configured, the next scheduled event is displayed here.
When a job is running, the monitor expands to show job details.
The summary panel shows a status overview of the last job performed
how many recovery points have been saved,
and how much free space remains on the destination.
Easy-to-read icons indicate events
that were successful,
failed,
or require intervention,
while the storage allocation bar
shows disk space usage.
The protection summary panel displays details for each backup type.
Beneath the summary panel is the backup history panel
...comprised of two sections.
The first is a list of your most recent backups,
and the second is a pie chart showing the status of every job in the list.
Across the top of the home page is an RSS feed
that cycles through the latest product news
and discussions posted at the Expert Advice Center.
Click a headline to go to the full story.
Or, just click the links in the support and community access panel
to go to the support site,
send feedback to the development team,
interact with other users,
and visit the expert advice center.
Beside the RSS feed is the server selection list.
After installing D2D, you can deploy it remotely.
The server selection list lets you choose a server to manage.
And finally, the Task Bar
where you can initiate key D2D functions.
View the remaining videos in the series for instructions on performing these tasks.
The first time you launch D2D, you should configure your backup settings.
You can configure these settings directly from the system tray icon,
the Getting Started window,
or the Task Bar. Just click the link
and specify a source,
a destination,
a schedule, and other settings.
For full instructions, view the video,
or see the product documentation.
