    The Server Backup component services stop.

  3. In Windows Explorer, browse to the folder: x:\Program Files\CA\BrightStor ARCserve Backup\Data\Discovery and locate the folder with the name of your server.
  4. Rename this folder.
  5. At the command prompt, enter the following command to restart the Server Backup component services:
