Choose Installation Type window

„ Client – This option is selected by default. It refers to a “Client”

installation of NVBU. With this type of installation the machine will be set up to serve as a Heterogeneous Client of the NVBU Server. Its data can be backed up under the control of an NVBU Server. This machine will either need to be added to an existing NVBU Server or use the NVBU Console to access the NVBU Domain Management window and select an existing NVBU Server to act as its Domain Controller. This installation

offers the quickest install and requires a lesser amount of space on the target machine.

„ Server – This option refers to a “Server” installation of NVBU. The recipient machine can then be configured to regulate the backup of all NVBU Clients that are later added to it. With this installation a little more space is required as the NVBU Server software requires a directory to house the NVDB – a central repository that contains all relevant information pertaining to NVBU operations.

Click Next.

5. In the Machine Name window, enter a valid NVBU Machine Name. This name is used for identification by other NVBU machines on the network. By default, NVBU uses the machine’s O/S-assigned name as the NVBU Machine Name. For details on valid NVBU Machine Names, refer to

Determining the NVBU Name and Passwordon page 22. Click Next.

Machine Name window

6. In the Choose Machine Password window, enter the NVBU password for the machine. This password is associated with the NVBU Machine Name and used to restrict access by other NVBU machines. For example, to add this machine as a Heterogeneous Client to another NVBU machine, you require the NVBU password. In Retype Password, re-enter the password for confirmation.
