Database Requirements ■ Consider the following upgrade scenarios: - You are using Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express Edition to host the CA ARCserve Backup database. The name of the CA ARCserve Backup database instance is ARCSERVE_DB (default). This scenario also includes situations where a previous release of CA ARCserve Backup may not be installed on the target system, however, Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express Edition is installed on the target system and you are using an instance named ARCSERVE_DB for other applications. - You are using Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express Edition to host the CA ARCserve Backup database. The name of the CA ARCserve Backup database instance is not ARCSERVE_DB. When you upgrade to this release, Setup searches for the default CA ARCserve Backup database instance. If Setup detects an instance named ARCSERVE_DB, Setup upgrades the instance to Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Express Edition, and CA ARCserve Backup continues using the instance, and data, from the previous release. However, if Setup cannot detect an instance named ARCSERVE_DB, Setup creates a new instance called ARCSERVE_DB. If Setup creates a new database instance, the information from the previous CA ARCserve Backup release is not retained in the new instance. Microsoft SQL Server Database Considerations Review the following information if you are considering using Microsoft SQL Server for the CA ARCserve Backup database: ■ If you are upgrading to this release and currently running Microsoft SQL Server for the CA ARCserve Backup database, you must continue using Microsoft SQL Server for the CA ARCserve Backup database. ■ CA ARCserve Backup does not support using Microsoft SQL Server 7.0 for the CA ARCserve Backup database. ■ By default, CA ARCserve Backup creates the CA ARCserve Backup database (ASDB) using a simple recovery model. You should retain this model for proper operation. ■ Microsoft SQL Server supports local and remote communication. This capability lets you configure the CA ARCserve Backup database to run locally or remotely to your CA ARCserve Backup server. Note: For more information, see Remote Database Considerations. ■ By default, CA ARCserve Backup stores information about the backed up files and directories in the Catalog Database. This behavior causes the Catalog Database to grow in size at a faster rate than the CA ARCserve Backup database. Given this behavior and the needs of your organization, you should plan to have a sufficient amount of free disk space to support the growth of the Catalog Database. 50 Implementation Guide
