Requirements

Prerequisites

For the installation of the DPX Client application, the minimum recommended version of Windows is Microsoft Windows 2012 R2. For details, see the DPX 4.11 Compatibility Matrix.

The minimum hardware requirements are as follows:

Memory	2 GB minimum, 4 GB recommended for Enterprise applications
Processor	1 core minimum
Architecture	x64
Disk space	4 GB minimum free space on system drive for installation

Note. For Windows clients with limited disk space, a client-only installer is available, which requires only 1.2 GB of temporary free space on the system drive. For details and restrictions, see the DPX 4.9.x Deployment Guide.

Before installing the DPX Client for Microsoft Windows, review the following prerequisites:

• The “Windows Installer” service must be available. Go to the Start menu, search for the application called “Services” and open it. Ensure that “Windows Installer” is available on the list of local services and that the status of this service is either “Manual” or “Automatic”.

• Allow all required ports for the Catalogic DPX Client:

  • TCP: 3260, 6123, 6124, 9104, 9202, 10000, 10001, 10566, and 15660

  • UDP: 6123 and 6124.

Tip. To protect Microsoft Windows VMs on either VMware or Microsoft Hyper-V, also consider the Agentless Backup which does not require the DPX Client application on the Microsoft Windows system.
