Installing and removing the plug-in

Installation prerequisites

You can install the plug-in on any pure 64‑bit Windows Server-based NetVault Backup Server or Client that supports the Microsoft .NET Framework, version 4.7.2 or later.

Verify that Microsoft .NET Framework is installed: The server that you use must support version 4.7.2 or later of the .NET Framework.
Install NetVault Backup Server or Client software: At a minimum, the NetVault Backup Client software must be installed on the server. For instructions on installing the NetVault Backup Server or Client software, see the Quest NetVault Backup Installation Guide.
Ensure that the server or client has access to a high level of internet bandwidth: Because the data that is backed up resides on a cloud-based server and is downloaded to local storage media, Quest recommends that you install the plug-in on a client or server that has high internet bandwidth.
