3.1 BackupAgent Platform requirements
Replication is introduced as an optional module for the BackupAgent Platform server as of
version 4.0. If you want to use replication, make sure the server (BackupAgent Platform) is
upgraded to at least this version.
As replication is an optional module, a license update might be necessary. If you haven’t updated
your license, contact BackupAgent first to obtain a new license before upgrading the
BackupAgent Platform server. Make sure you have a license that includes the replication option,
and use this license when updating the BackupAgent Platform.
For system requirements of the BackupAgent Platform, please see the BackupAgent Server
installation manual.
3.2 Replication Client component requirements
The server that uses the Replication Client must meet the following requirements:
 Windows Server 2008 R2 with latest updates and patches
 250 MB available RAM
 Local user account having access to the storage locations
