Custom options for ARCserve installation

	Manager (Console) Installs the ARCserve Manager Console.
	Stand-alone Server Using Stand-alone server we can run, manage and monitor jobs running locally.
	Primary Server ARCserve Primary server functions as a master server that controls itself and one or more ARCserve member servers. We can manage, monitor backup, restore jobs that run on primary and member servers. You can have a single point of management for multiple ARCserve servers. You can then use the ARCserve Manager Console to manage the Primary Server.
	Member Server An ARCserve Member server functions as a worker server to an Primary Server. A member server processes the jobs dispatched by the ARCserve Primary server. Using Primary and Member servers you can have a single point of management for multiple ARCserve servers in your environment. We can then use the ARCserve Manager Console to manage the Primary server and its members.
	Other Allows you to customize the installation of ARCserve Servers, Agents and Options.

In this setup I am going to continue the installation with Stand-alone option.

Choose ARCserve components.

In the next step of ARCserve installation requires a Backup Account. So I created a separate backup user account for this setup. And backup account requires Administrator, Backup Operator and Domain Administrator group rights.
