Manual Agent Installation

• Run Backup Agent setup file on the target host and follow the on-screen instructions to proceed with the installation.
• During the installation, you will be prompted to enter the following information:

Display Name: Enter a name to identify the host in the BDRCloud Server.

Choose Backup Type and Reboot Option: Choose the appropriate backup type and reboot option from the following choices based on your preferences:

1. No disk image backup required for this host. (Note: You can use this installation for Files/Folders Backup)
2. Disk image backup required for this host. Automatically reboot the host immediately. (Note: The changed block tracking (CBT) driver for disk image backup will be installed and the host will reboot immediately after installation)
3. Disk image backup required for this host. I will manually reboot the host later. (Note: The changed block tracking (CBT) driver for disk image backup will be installed and disk image backups will only be successful after a manual reboot)

• Complete the installation process by providing the necessary information.
• Once the installation is successful, the agent will automatically establish connection and register the host with the BDRCloud Server.
• To verify the installation and connection, go to the Data Sources menu on the backup server. You will see the host details, including the display name, Hostname/IP address and connection status.

Once the backup agent installation is successful using any of the above methods, the agent will automatically establish connection and register the host with the backup server. You will see the host details, including the Name, IP Address/DNS Name and Agent Status – Active.

Once the host is successfully listed under the Data Sources menu, you can configure backups from the ‘Backup -> Configure Backup’ menu.
