Linux Platform

Installation Without Graphical Interface

The installation on Linux is not interactive. To specify the account to use, you must:

  • Create a configuration file before installation
  • Configure the account using the management console after installation

Creating the Configuration File

  • Create a directory to store the configuration: mkdir -p /usr/local/etc/arx.one/backup
  • Create an empty configuration file in it: nano /usr/local/etc/arx.one/backup/backupagent.conf
  • Paste the initial configuration content into the created file:
Account: <account>
Password: <password>

Replace <account> and <password> with the actual values.

Important points:

  • The account name must be complete and its encoding is specific to the configuration: replace the > character with - and the - character with -- (double dash). For example, the account reseller>client>workstation-1 becomes reseller-client-workstation--1.
  • When the agent starts, the password will be encrypted in the configuration file and will no longer be visible.

Agent Installation

Once the configuration file has been created, proceed with the installation by running the following command in your terminal:

wget -qO- get.arx.one/backup | bash

Once the backup agent is installed, configuration will be performed directly from the management console.

Installation With Graphical Interface

Agent Installation

To install a backup agent on a Linux system, run the following command in your terminal:

wget -qO- get.arx.one/backup | bash

Account Assignment

Once the agent is installed, you must assign it a backup account as follows:

  • Open a web browser
  • In the address bar, connect to the Linux machine on port 10060 (<address>:10060)
  • You will automatically be redirected to the account assignment form at <address>:10060/setup
  • Enter the full account name (integrator>client>machine) along with its password, then click the "Assign" button

Once the assignment is completed, configuration will be performed directly from the management console.

Agent Update

Backup agent updates are performed along with system updates:

apt-get update && apt-get upgrade
