Installing the Agent

Before enabling application-consistent backup, change the security group and successfully install the Agent on your ECSs.

If application-consistent backup is enabled but Agent is not installed on servers, application-consistent backup will fail, and a common server backup will be performed instead. To ensure that application-consistent backup is properly executed, download and install the Agent first.

Operation Instructions

  • During the Agent installation, the system requires the rdadmin user's permissions to run the installation program. To improve O&M security, change the user rdadmin's password of the Agent OS regularly and disable this user's remote login permission. For details, see Changing the Password of User rdadmin.
