Hyper-V virtual
machines
Agent for Hyper-V
On the Hyper-V host.
SQL databases
Agent for SQL
On the machine running Microsoft SQL Server.
Exchange databases
Agent for Exchange
On the machine running Microsoft Exchange Server.
Virtual machines hosted
on Windows Azure
The same as for physical
machines**
On the machine that will be backed up.
*If your ESX(i) uses a SAN attached storage, install the agent on a machine connected to the same SAN. The
agent will back up the virtual machines directly from the storage rather than via the ESX(i) host and LAN.
**A virtual machine is considered virtual if it is backed up by an external agent. If an agent is installed in the
guest system, the machine appears as a physical machine.
Step 2
Review the system requirements for the agents.
Agent
Disk space occupied by the agent(s)
Agent for Windows
550 MB
Agent for Linux
500 MB
Agent for Mac
450 MB
Agent for VMware
700 MB (150 MB + 550 MB Agent for Windows)
Agent for Hyper-V
600 MB (50 MB + 550 MB Agent for Windows)
Agent for Exchange
750 MB (200 MB + 550 MB Agent for Windows)
Agent for SQL
600 MB (50 MB + 550 MB Agent for Windows)
The typical memory consumption is 300 MB above the operating system and running applications.
The peak consumption may reach 2 GB, depending on the amount and type of data being processed
by the agents.
Step 3
Download the setup program. To find the download links, click All machines > Add machine.
The Add machine page provides web installers for each agent that is installed in Windows. A web
installer is a small executable file that downloads the main setup program from the Internet and
saves it as a temporary file. This file is deleted immediately after the installation.
If you want to store the setup programs locally, download the All agents for installation in Windows,
64-bit package (a package for 32-bit systems is not available). This package also enables unattended
installation, for example, via Group Policy. This advanced scenario is described in the Administrator's
Guide.
Installation in Linux and OS X is performed from ordinary setup programs.
All setup programs require an Internet connection to register the machine in the backup service. If
there is no Internet connection, the installation will fail.
Step 4
Before the installation, ensure that your firewalls and other components of your network security
system allow both inbound and outbound connections through the following TCP ports:
