Installation

Follow the instructions in this section after you have verified Component Requirements, Sizing Guide, and the appropriate section of the platform to be protected:

• Virtual Environments (especially here, where a node sometimes needs to be installed within the protected environment)

• Applications

• Storage Providers

• Filesystems with OS Agent

Then proceed with the installation. You can deploy Storware Backup and Recovery using one of the following methods

• ISO-based installation (recommended) - the ISO image can be used to boot a virtual machine from it in order to install CentOS 9 Stream with the Storware Backup & Recovery application.

• Quick installation using all-in-one script (recommended) - to quickly deploy server and node on a single host with the compliant OS. This script also allows to deploy just the server or individual nodes

• Installation using Ansible playbook - you can install the complete Storware Backup & Recovery solution using the roles available on Ansible Galaxy. This approach also supports multinode deployments and also reusing roles in your playbooks.

• Installation with RPMs - to deploy the server and node from scratch
