- 1.File location of Installation
- 2.Full or Upgrade Installation
- 3.Hosting/Deployment
File location of Installation:
You can choose file location of your choice but usually we recommend the default, which is
c:/smartbackupEnsure you have write-access to the space. Under certain circumstances when hosting in a cloud platform such as AWS or Microsoft Azure, the Windows Image for c:/ is marked as read-only.
Full or Upgrade Installation:
First time installers or when you want a complete reset are advised to always perform a FULL installation, Users/Administrators upgrading to next release or re-installing are advised to always perform a UPGRADE installation to preserve existing settings and the Backup Catalog.
Hosting/Deployment
The single biggest consideration probably is whether you want to host SmartBackup on-premise or in-cloud. On-premise installation usually pretty straight-forward and for Business Users could be satisfied with an old Laptop/Desktop lying about. For larger users this could be achieved with a dedicated VM on a sharable server.
The on-cloud deployment usually are VM's within Azure or AWS.
use the Playbook to help guide you with hosting and deployment. Coming shortly are detailed installation guides for Azure and AWS
