Once you have ensured that the above packages are all available in your FreeBSD machine, follow the steps given below to install ACCDataVault:

1. Unzip the downloaded ZIP file.

2. Execute the bin file

ACCDataVault_3_2_0_SP_FreeBSD_Client_Only.bin

3. The first step in the installation is to choose the type of installation. You will be given two options:

1. You can install ACCDataVault in a newly created ACCDataVault user account, where the ACCDataVault user account will be automatically created with root privileges

2. You can install ACCDataVault in the current user account without root privileges.

Choose option 1, if you want ACCDataVault to have root privileges so that it can be configured to backup all the users data, MySQL, System Files etc. Note that ACCDataVault will be installed as a daemon process and will automatically start when the system boots up. You can START and STOP ACCDataVault by running the command "/etc/rc.d/accdatavault start/stop".

Choose option 2, if you want ACCDataVault to only backup files in the current user directories. Note that ACCDataVault will be installed in the current user directory and has to be manually started every time the machine is rebooted. You can START and STOP ACCDataVault by running the script startACCDataVault.sh and stopACCDataVault.sh

4. If you chose option 1 in the above step, then you will either be asked to give the root password, or the installation will quit and ask you to login as root and start the installation process again. Once you give the root password, you will be asked to provide a password for the ACCDataVault user account which will be created. Note that ACCDataVault will be installed as a daemon process and will automatically start when the system boots up. You can START and STOP ACCDataVault by running the command "/etc/rc.d/accdatavault start/stop".

   If you chose option 2, then you will be taken to the next step directly. Note that ACCDataVault will be installed in the current user directory and has to be manually started every time the machine is rebooted. You can START and STOP ACCDataVault by running the script startACCDataVault.sh and stopACCDataVault.sh

5. Read through the License Agreement carefully. If you agree, enter Yes to continue with the installation. If you do not agree, enter No to abort the installation.

6. By default ACCDataVault will be installed in the "Current Directory". Setup will install ACCDataVault under "Acceler8 IT Solutions Inc/ACCDataVault" in the "Current Directory" directory. To install in a different directory, enter the absolute path for ACCDataVault installation. Note that setup will create the "Acceler8 IT Solutions Inc/ACCDataVault" directory under the directory you entered.

7. Upgrading ACCDataVault from 2.5.1 to 3.2

   Acceler8 IT Solutions Inc/ACCDataVault directory found in the installation path provides you with Yes/No options:

   Choosing 'Yes' will upgrade ACCDataVault to the latest version.

   Choosing 'No' will skip the upgrade process.

   ACCDataVault can be upgraded to v3.2 from ACCDataVault version 2.5.1

8. Assign a ACCDataVault ID:

ACCDataVault ID is the unique name with which your ACCDataVault installation is identified. By default, it takes your machine name as the ACCDataVault ID. But we recommend giving your email id as the ACCDataVault ID so that it is globally unique. Here you will be provided with these options:

• "Do you want to identify your machine name by other than hostname"

• If you enter "y/Y" then following text will displayed in terminal to enter ACCDataVault ID.

• "Enter ACCDataVault ID"

• Enter the ACCDataVault ID for your installation. We recommend using your email id for this.

Note: The ACCDataVault ID value is case insensitive. Hence, the 'ACCDataVault ID' you have entered will be automatically converted to lower case.

9. ACCDataVault Web Console Authentication:

Since ACCDataVault's user interface is browser based you need to configure a username and password to login to ACCDataVault Web Console. Note that you can add additional users, delete users, change password etc. from the Web Console UI after the installation.

10. Configure Backup Server Port and UI Communication Port

By default ACCDataVault uses the 'Backup Server Port' 32004, which is used for all the client-server communications like Backup/Restore, and the 'UI Communication Port' 32005, which is used for communication between the ACCDataVault WebConsole and the ACCDataVault Application. If you want to have ACCDataVault using other than the default ports, here you will be provided with these options.

• "Do you want to change these ports from default value"

• If you enter "y/Y" then following text will displayed in terminal to enter ACCDataVault's Backup Server Port and the UI Communication Port.

• "Please enter a numerical whole number value for Backup Server Port"

• Enter the Backup Server Port value here.

• "Please enter a numerical whole number value for UI Communication Port"

• Enter the UI Communication Port value here.

11. This installs the product and complete the installation process. After successful installation, you are provided with an option to start the ACCDataVault. After the installation, You can start ACCDataVault by executing the script "startACCDataVault.sh" from the directory "<INSTALLATION_HOME>/Acceler8 IT Solutions Inc/ACCDataVault/".

Note:

After successful installation, you can open the ACCDataVault Web Console from your browser by typing http://<Your Machine Name>:6060. You will have to login to the Web Console using the username and password you provided in the "ACCDataVault Web Console Authentication" step during the installation.
