How do I install application-specific server backup packages?

Commvault offers application-specific backup agents that can be used to back up applications such as databases. Before proceeding with these instructions, you should have installed the "basic" backup client using the instructions at How do I install server backup clients?

1. Log in to the Commvault Command Center web interface at http://backup.uic.edu.
2. Navigate to the Protect -> File Servers section, or the Manage -> Servers section and change the Type from Infrastructure to All.
3. Find the client that you would like to install application-specific backup packages on and click the Actions menu to the right of that client, then select Add Software.
   
   
    
4. Select the package(s)/agent(s) that you would like to install, then select Install. Depending on the package, you may also need to reboot your server to complete the install. If that's needed and the Reboot if required option is enabled, your server will automatically be rebooted as part of this installation process.
   
   
   
   
    
5. You can monitor the progress of the installation job under the Jobs menu.
   
   
    
6. Once the job completes, you can navigate to Protect -> Databases (or another option, if you've installed a non-database agent) and proceed with further configuration if necessary. That will vary depending on the agent that you've installed. For example, with the SQL Server agent you can edit the account that the agent will use to connect to the SQL server. Please refer to Commvault's documentation for details about the configuration needed for specific agents.
