Deployment

1. Start with overview:

   • Architecture

   • Support Matrix

   • Platform Requirements

2. Check where node should be installed for your environment:

   • Virtual Environments

   • Microsoft 365

   • Applications

   • Storage Providers

3. Install using one of the following options:

   • All-in-one quick installation (recommended)

   Regardless of the installation option you choose:

   • The node requires staging space - assume a number of concurrent export and store tasks and multiply it by the biggest VM size (for example: 6 export tasks + 4 store tasks * 100 GB should require around 1 TB)

   • The Staging space configuration will guide you to prepare storage on the spare drive

   • vPlus is installed in the /opt/vprotect folder and staging space is assumed to be in /vprotect_data - these are the defaults and should not be changed.

4. Run the configuration wizard (Initial configuration), where you can (or do manually the following steps):

   • Upload the license

   • Configure connection to the source you would like to protect

   • Configure backup destination - we recommend to use Synthetic File System

   • Configure backup SLA (policies and schedules)

   • Configure backup of your internal DB (for DR purposes)

5. Once you have configured source, backup destination and backup SLA - initiate backup and restore operations:

   • Virtual Environments

   • Microsoft 365

   • Applications

   • Storage Providers
