Windows environment

Standard setup​

To install the Arx One Backup agent on a Windows system, download the application from https://get.arx.one/backup

Once downloaded, install the agent on the target system. Only the credentials are required to install the backup agent.

  • Account : account used for backup and restore operations. If it's a root account, just type it as it is. If it is a secondary account, enter its full name using the following form: rootAccount-childAccount
  • Password : Your password. Make sur to keep it.

Installation can only start when your credentials has been validated and the dot is green. If it is displayed in red, your credentials are incorrect.

Update​

The agent update is automatic and relies on the Windows Task Scheduler.

To perform a manual update, there is two options:

  • Manually run the scheduled task "Arx One updater"
  • Launch the specifically provided backup agent's setup. If a backup agent is already installed on a machine, executing a new setup acts as a simple update, without entering credentials.

Automatic deployment​

Syntax​

The backup agent can be deployed automatically by using the following parameters :

  • --install=backup[/«version»] mandatory, version number is optional
  • --silent for a silent (invisible) install
  • --account=«value» provide account to be configured with this agent (may contain environment variables, see below)
  • --password=«value» provide a password
  • --create-with-token=«value» when provided, the account is created during setup
  • --override-account allows to override account (using --account or create-with-token) when agent is already configured with an account
  • --channel=stable|testing|unstable for the ones who dare
