1. BDRSuite Backup Agent (BBA) runs with the service name - BDRSuite Delegation Service (BDS) and is a mandatory component for backup operations and is installed on the target host (Windows/Linux).
   
2. When adding hosts (Windows/Linux) through CSV File, you need to manually install BBA on all the target hosts.
   

Step 1: Create a .csv file containing Hosts’ Name/ IP Address (that you wish to backup) as comma-separated values.

Note: IP Address can be used only if the hosts have static IP addresses.

Eg1: name1, name2, name3, name4,..

Eg2: 192.168.100.101, 192.168.100.102, 192.168.100.103,...

Eg3: 192.168.100.101, name1, 192.168.100.103,...

Step 2: Under the main Tab: Data Center/Private Cloud, navigate to the menu: Data Sources -> Add Microsoft Windows (or) Data Sources -> Add Linux

Step 3: Choose the option - Import from CSV File option: Select/enter the CSV file location and click ‘Save’. All the hosts provided in the file will be listed in the “Data Sources” menu.

Step 4: Install BDRSuite Backup Agent (BBA) for Disk Image and Files & Folders Backup on each of the target hosts which runs as BDRSuite Delegation Service. BBA uses port 42005 to communicate with the Backup Server.

To install BBA in the Windows host use the command below:

Windows

msiexec /i BDRSuite_Delegation_Service_5_6_0_0.msi /qn

To install BBA in the Linux host use the command below:

Debian Linux:

bash BDRSuite_Delegation_Service_5_6_0_0_DBN.bin yes admin "/home/vembuintegrationservice"

Red Hat Linux:

bash BDRSuite_Delegation_Service_5_6_0_0_RH.bin yes admin "/home/vembuintegrationservice"

Step 5: Click the 'Register BBA' button alongside the added host under the 'Data Sources' menu. This will establish connection between the target host and the BDRSuite server.

Note: You can configure backups only for hosts that have successfully connected and registered with the backup server.
