Installing Symantec Backup Exec System Recovery

One of the main tasks of the system administrator is backup. In my practice, I came across this task only for Unix servers, and I had never had to perform the same actions on Windows machines before. But this moment has come - I had to raise the Windows server and set up a backup on it accordingly.
Of course, I considered various backup systems - from standard archiving to professional backup programs. As a result, I chose Symantec Backup Exec System Recovery for this task. My choice is rather subjective than actually based on the advantages of this system over others (and I often had to deal with the programs of this manufacturer in my work). So…

Installation, as you can imagine, should start with the "purchase" of this product. I want to immediately warn you that the program is paid (you’ll have to activate it in 2 months), so you can enjoy its charms for only 2 months respectively. On the manufacturer's website, you can download various modifications of this program. We are interested in Backup Exec System Recovery for Windows-servers. Having received the program, we will begin installation. The test time during installation is only one - this is the choice of components for installation (in the figure).


In principle, nothing superfluous, so I advise you not to change anything at this stage. At the end of the installation, it is possible to launch the update program of the initial backup wizard. First run, second, then do it manually. After the installation is complete, you must restart the server. This completes the installation.
In the next post, I'll talk about the basic setup of Backup Exec.
