KB ID: 115218

Overview

This article details the steps for downloading and installing the BDRSuite Backup Agent on multiple backup hosts simultaneously using commands via Remote Monitoring and Management (RMM) software or any third-party tool. The installation commands vary based on operating system and the desired backup configuration.

Windows Installation Commands

Download the Windows version of the BDRSuite Backup Agent and use the following commands based on your backup type and reboot preference.

Disk Image Backup with Immediate Reboot

To configure disk image backup and initiate a reboot immediately after the Backup Agent installation, use:

msiexec /i BDRSuite_Delegation_Service_7_1_2.msi /qn BACKUPSERVERINFO="Enter Backup Server IP Address/DNS Name" IMAGEBACKUPENABLED="1" INSTALLDRIVER="Yes" REBOOT="Force"

Disk Image Backup with Deferred Reboot

To configure disk image backup and reboot the host later, use:

msiexec /i BDRSuite_Delegation_Service_7_1_2.msi /qn BACKUPSERVERINFO="Enter Backup Server IP Address/DNS Name" IMAGEBACKUPENABLED="1" INSTALLDRIVER="Yes"

Files & Folders Backup Only

To configure only files & folders backup (without disk image backup), use:

msiexec /i BDRSuite_Delegation_Service_7_1_2.msi /qn BACKUPSERVERINFO="Enter Backup Server IP Address/DNS Name"

Linux Installation Commands

The BDRSuite Backup Agent supports silent installations on Linux (Debian and Red Hat). Use the following commands for installation:

Debian Linux

bash BDRSuite_Delegation_Service_7_1_2_DBN.bin --BACKUPSERVERINFO "{Enter Backup Server IP Address/DNS Name}"

Red Hat Linux

bash BDRSuite_Delegation_Service_7_1_2_RH.bin --BACKUPSERVERINFO "{Enter Backup Server IP Address/DNS Name}"

Mac Installation Commands

To install the BDRSuite Backup Agent on macOS, follow the appropriate command based on your Mac’s architecture:

Intel Mac

sudo sh BDRSuite_Delegation_Service_7_1_2_IMac.bin "{Enter Backup Server IP Address/DNS Name}"

ARM Mac

sudo sh BDRSuite_Delegation_Service_7_1_2_IMac_arm64.bin "{Enter Backup Server IP Address/DNS Name}"

Notes:

1. Ensure that you replace "Enter Backup Server IP Address/DNS Name" with the actual IP address or DNS name of the backup server.
2. For Windows installations, consider including "REBOOT=Force" for automated restart after agent installation.
3. Utilize these commands with your preferred third-party deployment tools to simultaneously install the BDRSuite Backup Agent on multiple hosts.
   

You can use any RMM software or third-party tool to execute these commands for bulk deployment across multiple hosts. For additional configuration details, refer to this KB article or consult the BDRSuite Support Team.
