Before You Start

Operating System

  • Linux kernel 4.7+ (eBPF change tracking)
  • Ubuntu 20.04+ / Debian 10+
  • RHEL 8+ / CentOS 8+ / Fedora
  • Windows 10/11 (Administrator required)

Filesystems

  • NTFS (Windows)
  • ext4 / XFS (Linux)

Privileges

  • Linux: root or CAP_BPF + CAP_SYS_ADMIN
  • Windows: Administrator

Networking

  • Allow TCP 50051 between agents and the backup server

Hardware (baseline)

  • CPU: 2+ cores
  • RAM: 4–8 GB
  • Disk: enough space for snapshots on the server repository
  1. Install and configure the Backup Server
  2. Start and verify the Backup Server
  3. Install Backup Agent(s)
  4. Point agents at the server address
  5. Verify agent connectivity and first backup

Why server first? Agents require a reachable server to register and upload backups.
