Installation
Where do I install each Backup and Recovery component?
The Backup and Recovery components may be installed on a single PC or multiple PCs, as required by your
specific needs and network architecture. A backup agent must be installed on every PC that requires back up.
The management server, license server, and storage vault(s) should be installed on one or more conveniently
located PCs. The management console can be installed on the management server PC but you can install a
management console on any PC that requires access to a backup agent.
How do I install the Backup and Recovery components?
The install files for Backup and Recovery are included on the Backup and Recovery DVD. You can install the
management server and the components for remote installation on one PC and then deploy the Backup and
Recovery components to the other PCs in your backup network from the management server.
Do I need to install the Backup and Recovery components in a particular order?
Yes. Installing Backup and Recovery is a multiple-stage process. To successfully install Backup and Recovery,
you must do the following in the order listed:
 Install the Backup License Utility from the DVD and generate your site license code
 Send your site license code to Emerson to receive your encrypted license file
 Use the Backup License Utility to decrypt the license file and create a text file that includes the license keys
 Run the setup program for Backup and Recovery, including any licensed options, such as Universal Restore
or Deduplication
 Install the Emerson Backup Plan Templates on the management server and managed machines
After installing Backup and Recovery you can configure the application. You can also import the Emerson Backup
Plan Templates, as required. More details on the installation process can be found in the “Introduction to Backup
and Recovery” document located on the Backup and Recovery DVD.
Can the management server be installed on a DeltaV Application Station?
Yes. The management server and other Backup and Recovery data management components may be installed
on a DeltaV Application Station. It is recommended that if the DeltaV Application Station is used as the
management server, no other DeltaV applications be used on the Application Station.
Can the management server be installed on a non-Emerson PC?
Yes. The management server and other Backup and Recovery data management components may be installed
on a non-Emerson PC. It is recommended the management server and other Backup and Recovery data
management components be installed on a Dell R710 or other DeltaV system approved Dell server.
Which operating systems can be used to install the management server?
The management server may be installed on a PC running Windows XP SP3, Windows 7 (32-bit), Windows
Server 2003 SP2 or Window Server 2008 SP2. For performance reasons, you may consider using a server class
PC if you have more than a few PCs that require backup.
