Installing on Windows using the installation wizard

Use these instructions to install on a single Windows server using the installation wizard. The wizard will guide you step by step through the installation process.

1. Close any open applications.

2. Launch the .exe file that you downloaded from the web.

   If you are installing on Server Core, copy the web download file to the Server Core machine using a UNC share, and then launch the installation program from the Server Core machine. The installation screens will display on the Server Core machine.

    

3. Select your installation language.
4. When the installation program begins, the Autorun appears allowing you to install software and view online resources. Select the appropriate link for the Carbonite Availability and Carbonite Move product you want to install.
5. Depending on your version of Windows and the components you have installed, you may be prompted to install one or more Visual C++ security updates or Microsoft .NET Framework. These components are required. If you do not see this screen, you server already has them. Select Install to continue.
6. You will be given the opportunity to check for a more recent version of the software.
• If you do not want to check for a later version, select No and click Next.
• If you want to check for a later version, select Yes and click Next. The installation program will establish an Internet connection from your server to the Carbonite web site.
• If later versions are found, they will be listed. Highlight the version you want and either download that version and install it automatically or download that version and exit the installation. (If you exit the installation, you can run the updated installation later directly from the location where you saved it.)
• If no later versions are found, continue with the current installation.
• If an Internet connection cannot be established, continue with the current installation or install a previously downloaded version.
7. Review the Carbonite license agreement.You must accept the license agreement in order to continue with the installation program. Click Next to continue.
8. Review the activation notice. Most source server licenses require activation after installation for full product functionality. Target license activation depends on the source license you are using. Failure to activate licenses that require it will cause your Carbonite Availability and Carbonite Move jobs to fail. Click Next to continue.

9. Select the type of installation you would like to perform on this machine.

   • Client and Server Components—This option installs both the client and server components. The server components are required for systems that will function as a source or target. All source servers require a license key for the service to run. Target licensing depends on the source license you are using. The client does not require a license key, but it is required to administer this and other Carbonite Availability and Carbonite Move servers throughout the organization.
   • Client Components Only—This option installs only the client components. The client components do not require a license key, but are required to administer Carbonite Availability and Carbonite Move servers throughout the organization.
   • Server Components Only—This option installs only the server components. The server components are required for systems that will function as a source or target. All source servers require a license key for the service to run. Target licensing depends on the source license you are using.

   If you are installing on Server Core, you will only be able to select the Server Components Only installation. You will not be able to run the client components from the Server Core machine. The client will have to be run from another machine.

    

10. If desired, specify where the files will be installed by clicking Change, specifying a location, and then clicking OK.
11. Click Next to continue.
12. If the machine where you are installing has Windows Firewall enabled, you will be given the opportunity to open and reassign any firewall ports for Carbonite Availability and Carbonite Move use.
    • Open only the ports that are not in use—This option will open any firewall ports that are not in use. The ports that are opened will be assigned to Carbonite Availability and Carbonite Move.
    • Open all ports, reassigning the ports in use to Carbonite Replication—This option will open all necessary firewall ports, reassigning any to Carbonite Availability and Carbonite Move as needed.
    • Do not configure the Windows Firewall at this time—This option will not modify any firewall ports. If you select this option, you will have manually modify your firewall settings for Carbonite Availability and Carbonite Move processing.

13. Click Next to continue.

    If you selected a client only installation, skip the remaining steps.

     

14. You will be prompted to enter your license key information. Your license key is a 24-character, alpha-numeric license key which applies the appropriate license to your installation. Enter your key and click Add.

15. You can activate your license key at the end of the installation. The activation requires Internet access. If you choose not to have the installation activate your license, you will have to activate it through the Carbonite Replication Console.
16. Click Next to continue.
17. Carbonite Availability and Carbonite Move uses system memory for Carbonite Availability and Carbonite Move processing. The maximum amount is dependent on the server hardware and operating system. Specify the Amount of system memory to use, which is the maximum amount of system memory that Carbonite Availability and Carbonite Move can use.
18. When the allocated Carbonite Availability and Carbonite Move system memory is exhausted, Carbonite Availability and Carbonite Move will queue to disk. If you want to disable disk queuing, select Do not use disk queue. Ideally, you should use disk queuing. Specify the Queue folder, which is the location of the disk queue. By default, the size of the disk queue is set to Unlimited disk queue, which will allow the queue usage to automatically expand whenever the available disk space expands. If desired, you can select Limit disk space for queue and specify a fixed disk space amount. You can also specify the Minimum free disk space, which is the minimum amount of disk space in the specified Queue folder that must be available at all times. This amount should be less than the amount of physical disk space minus the disk size specified for Limit disk space for queue.
19. Click Next to continue.
20. The Carbonite Availability and Carbonite Move security information screen appears next. Review this information and click Next to continue with the installation.
21. If you are satisfied with the selections you have made and are ready to begin copying the Carbonite Availability and Carbonite Move files, click Install.
22. After the files have completed copying, click Finish to exit the installation program.
