The Linux builds are pre-compiled and all required dependencies are included in the build itself. You don't have to install the dependencies separately.

The libstdc++.so.5 is a runtime compilation library required for the Backup Manager application to run on the machine. This library can be downloaded and installed from http://gcc.gnu.org/libstdc++/

Note: Linux installation should be run with the root user privileges.

Once you have ensured that the above library is installed on your Linux machine, follow the steps given below to install Backup Manager:

1. Unzip the downloaded ZIP file.

2. Execute the bin file. Example: ./Backup_Manager_2_3_SP_CO_RH.bin

   Backup Manager needs root user privileges. Hence, if Backup Manager is installed as an user which does not have root privileges, the installation will abort with the message "You need root user privileges". This is applicable for upgrades as well.

3. The first step in the installation is to choose the type of installation. You can select from one of the two options:

   • You can install Backup Manager in a newly created Backup Manager user account, where the Backup Manager user account will be automatically created with root privileges, or

   • You can install Backup Manager in the current user account.

   Choose option 1, if you want Backup Manager to backup user data, MySQL, System Files etc. Note that Backup Manager will be installed as a daemon process and will automatically start when the system boots up. You can START and STOP Backup Manager by running the command "/etc/init.d/storegrid start/stop". You can check the status of Backup Manager application by running the command "/etc/init.d/storegrid status".

   Choose option 2, if you want Backup Manager to be installed as an application to backup only the system files and folders. Note that Backup Manager will be installed in the current user directory and has to be manually started every time the machine is rebooted. You can START and STOP Backup Manager by running the script "startStoreGrid.sh" and "stopStoreGrid.sh".

4. If Backup Manager is installed for the first time and you chose option 1 in the above step, then you will be asked to provide a password for the Backup Manager user account which is created. Note that Backup Manager will be installed as a daemon process and will automatically start when the system boots up. You can START and STOP Backup Manager by running the command "/etc/init.d/storegrid start/stop". You can check the status of Backup Manager application by running the command "/etc/init.d/storegrid status".

   If you chose option 2, then you will be taken to the next step directly. Note that Backup Manager will be installed in the current user directory and has to be manually started every time the machine is rebooted. You can START and STOP Backup Manager by running the script "startStoreGrid.sh" and "stopStoreGrid.sh".

5. Read through the License Agreement carefully. If you agree, enter Yes to continue with the installation. If you do not agree, enter No to abort the installation.

6. If you had chosen option 2 for the type of installation, Backup Manager will ask for a location to install Backup Manager. By default, Backup Manager will be installed in the "Current Directory". Backup Manager setup will be installed under "Full Circle Data Systems Corporation/Backup Manager" in the "Current Directory" directory. To install in a different directory, enter the absolute path (full path) for Full Circle Data Systems Corporation Backup Manager installation. Note that the setup will create the "Full Circle Data Systems Corporation/Backup Manager" directory under the directory you entered.

7. If Backup Manager is already in the installed location, Backup Manager will try to upgrade. The installation will ask the user whether the previous setup can be migrated. Enter "yes" to continue up gradation, and "no" to abort the installation.

   Backup Manager can be upgraded to 2.3 from Backup Manager versions 2.2.1 and 2.2.5.

8. Configure Backup Manager as:

   Only one option is available.

   • Client - This option will configure this Backup Manager installation to run only as a client (half peer), which means Backup Manager can backup local files/folders to a Backup Manager backup server, but cannot accept backup data from other Backup Manager installations.

9. Assign A Backup Manager ID:

   Backup Manager ID is the unique name with which your Backup Manager installation is identified. By default, it takes your machine name as the Backup Manager ID. But we recommend giving a globally unique ID. Here you will be provided with these options:

   • "Do you want to identify your machine name by other than hostname?"

   • If you enter "y/Y," then following text will be displayed in terminal to enter Backup Manager ID:

   • "Enter Backup Manager ID"

   • Enter the Backup Manager ID for your installation. We recommend using your email ID for this.

   Note: The Backup Manager ID value is case insensitive. Hence, the "Backup Manager ID" you have entered will be automatically converted to lower case.

   Customer Name: Enter a valid Backup Manager Customer Name. The Backup Manager Customer name is the "name" under which your client is categorized (on the backup server). By default, this is set to "Trial Customer". Your service provider can change this at his end, as required. If your service provider has given you a customer name, please enter it exactly as provided. Otherwise, please leave this as the default "Trial Customer".

10. Configure Backup Manager Server backup location:

    By default, Backup Manager Server will store the backup data from the clients to the "<INSTALLATION_DIR>/Full Circle Data Systems Corporation/Backup Manager" directory. If you want to change the server's default backup location, you will be provided with these options.

    • "Do you want to change the server's default backup location?"

    • If you enter "y/Y," then following text will displayed in terminal to enter Backup Manager Server backup location:

    • "Enter the absolute path for Backup Manager Server's backup location"

    • Enter the backup location for this server here.

11. Enable HTTPS based Backup Manager WebConsole access:

    Backup Manager uses the TCP port "6060" for its webconsole and uses the TCP port "6061" for its https based webconsole access. Backup Manager supports "https protocol" to access the Backup Manager webconsole in a secured manner. Hence, if you try to access the Backup Manager webconsole through http://<machine name>:<webconsole port>, you will be automatically redirected to https://<machine name>:<HTTPS port> url.

    Note: Backup Manager WebConsole access through HTTPS is enabled by default.

12. Full Circle Data Systems Corporation Backup Manager WebConsole Authentication:

    Backup Manager's WebConsole user interface is browser based; you need to configure a username and password to login to Backup Manager WebConsole. Note that you can add additional users, delete users, change password, etc. from the WebConsole UI after the installation.

13. Configure Backup Server Port and UI Communication Port

    By default, Backup Manager uses the "Backup Server Port" 32004, for all client-server communications and the "UI Communication Port" 32005 for communication between the Backup Manager WebConsole and the Backup Manager Application. If you wish Backup Manager to use ports other than the default, you are provided with the following options here:

    • "Do you want to change these ports from default value?"

    • If you enter "y/Y," then following text will displayed in terminal to enter Backup Manager's Backup Server Port and the UI Communication Port:

    • "Please enter a valid port value [numerical whole number] for Backup Server Port".

    • Enter the Backup Server Port value here.

    • "Please enter a valid port value [Numerical whole number] for UI Communication Port".

    • Enter the UI Communication Port value here.

14. This installs the product and completes the installation process. After successful installation, you are provided with an option to start Backup Manager. You can start Backup Manager by executing the script "startStoreGrid.sh" from the directory "<INSTALLATION_HOME>/Full Circle Data Systems Corporation/Backup Manager/".

After successful installation, you can open the Backup Manager WebConsole from your browser by typing http://<Your Machine Name>:6060. You will have to login to the WebConsole using the username and password you provided in the "Full Circle Data Systems Corporation Backup Manager WebConsole Authentication" step during the installation.
