Using a command script to install the Remote Agent and AOFO

You can use command script files to install the Remote Agent and the Advanced Open File Option (AOFO). The command script files are included in the Remote Agent installation directory.

To use a command script to install the Remote Agent and AOFO

  1. Map a drive letter to the Agents directory of a 32-bit or 64-bit Backup Exec media server. By default, the Agents directory is located at the following path:

    \Program Files\Symantec\Backup Exec\Agents

  2. Do one of the following:

    To install the Remote Agent on a 32-bit computer

    Double-click setupaa in the RAWS32 directory.

    To install the Advanced Open File Option on a 32-bit computer

    Double-click setupaofo in the RAWS32 directory.

    By default, the command script installs the option automatically on the remote server in the following directory:

    \Program Files\Symantec\Backup Exec\RAWS

    To install the Remote Agent on a 64-bit computer

    Double-click setupaa64 in the RAWSX64 directory.

    To install the Advanced Open File Option on a 64-bit computer

    Double-click setupaofo64 in the RAWSX64 directory.

    By default, the command script installs the option automatically on the remote server in the following directory:

    \Program Files\Symatnec\Backup Exec\RAWS

  3. If you installed the Advanced Open File Option, you must restart the remote computer.

    The installation process creates a job log named bkupinst.htm on the computer where Backup Exec is installed. This file lists any errors that may have occurred during installation. The last line of the log indicates if the installation was successful and if you must restart the computer.
