To add devices for Automatic Deployment (quick installation), follow the below steps:
- Log in to the Console under a SuperUser account belonging to a reseller or end-customer
- Click Add devices, select Servers of Workstations
- Select the Customer to install the device for from the dropdown
- Select a Profile (optional)
Backup profiles let you configure multiple devices for backup simultaneously (learn more).
- Select a Retention Policy
Custom Retention Policies let you configure different retention to the default 30 days.
- Select the Operating System for the device
- Click Next
- Download the installation package from the download link and take a note of the installation package name
- Click Finish
- Run the Installation package on the device where the backup is required
Do not change the installation package name from the one provided on your dialog. This is because the package name is a unique identifier for the specific customer and doing so would stop the installation from functioning appropriately.
If the installer does not run after downloading, check the file has not been renamed by your system and check properties of the install file to ensure that it has not been blocked by your system upon download. Attempt to run as the Administrator on the device.
Ways to run the installation package:
- Double-click on the installer executable
- Submit the name of the installer to a terminal emulator or a software distribution system. For example:
demobm#a55x00rf-d604-429e-lf87-n800004e755#5038#.exe
Please note, the installer name will be specific to you.
