NetVault Plug-in for MongoDB 12.4 - User Guide

Reviewing the recommended configuration

While you can set up a single machine as both the NetVault Server and the MongoDB Server, that is, all software installation and configuration requirements are performed on a single machine, Quest recommends that these two entities exist on separate machines.

Installed software and configuration

Installed software and configuration

Mongo shell, version 4.0 or later

Installing the plug-in

The following topic describes the process for installing the plug-in on a single client or upgrading an existing one. If you have multiple clients of the same type, you can use the NetVault Configuration Wizard to install the plug-in on multiple clients at the same time. For more information on using push installation to update multiple clients at the same time, see the Quest NetVault Backup Administrator’s Guide.

Click Choose Plug-in File, navigate to the location of the “.npk” installation file for the plug-in, for example, on the installation CD or the directory to which the file was downloaded from the website.
