Verify Installation

This section covers common tasks performed after installing XReplicator, including verifying the installation, updating packages, and uninstalling components.

For evaluations, installation is not considered complete until you have verified a restore point and restored at least one known file. See First Restore Test.

Verify Backup Server

sudo systemctl status backup-server

Verify the backup server is running before starting agents.

Verify Backup Agents

sudo systemctl status backup-agent

A healthy service should show: active (running)

Verify Web UI (Optional)

Open http://localhost:3000 in your browser.

In the web UI, confirm:

  • The Community or Enterprise license is active.
  • At least one client appears as connected.
  • A completed restore point appears after the first backup.

Check Installed Binary (Optional)

Ensure the xreplicator binary is available in the system path:

which xreplicator

Expected output:

/usr/local/bin/xreplicator

Updating Packages

Upgrade Backup Agents

sudo dpkg -i backup-agent_VERSION_amd64.deb

Upgrade Backup Server

sudo dpkg -i backup-server_VERSION_amd64.deb

Always back up your configuration files before upgrading.

Upgrade backup agents before upgrading the backup server.

Evaluation Completion Check

Before expanding beyond the first test machine, confirm:

  • Backup server and web UI are healthy.
  • One agent is connected.
  • One backup has completed.
  • Restore verification has run against a completed restore point.
  • A known file has been restored to a safe location.

Next: Run the First Restore Test.

Uninstalling Packages

Uninstall Backup Agents

sudo systemctl stop backup-agent
sudo systemctl disable backup-agent
sudo dpkg -r backup-agent

Uninstall Backup Server

sudo systemctl stop backup-server
sudo systemctl disable backup-server
sudo dpkg -r backup-server

Uninstalling removes services but does not delete backup repositories.
