System requirements

DocRetriever Console system requirements

DocRetriever Agent system requirements

Required software components

For a standard mode configuration, DocRetriever for SharePoint requires the following components:

•	Rapid Recovery Core installed on a properly sized Core server

•	A SharePoint front-end web server with SharePoint Central Administration installed

•	Rapid Recovery Agent installed on the SharePoint web server (unless using agentless protection to protect that web server in your Core)

•	VMware Tools (on vSphere VMs, if using agentless protection on an ESXi host)

•	SQL Server (installed on the Core server)

•	SQL Server Management Studio (for SQL database management associated with a SharePoint environment)

•	DocRetriever Console (installed on the machine from which you want to browse and restore backed-up SharePoint data)

•	A local service database instance (installed on the machine with the DocRetriever Console when you first open the Console)

•	DocRetriever Agent (installed on each SharePoint front-end web server from which you want to be able to restore data)

•	Local Mount Utility (installed on any supported Windows machine if accessing recovery points remotely instead of from the Core server)

For a standalone mode configuration, all components listed above are required except for a Core server and the corresponding Rapid Recovery Agent software.

For specific version numbers of SharePoint or SQL Server, see the table below.

For more information on components and modes, see Understanding DocRetriever deployment architecture.

For system requirements specific to Rapid Recovery, see the Rapid Recovery Installation and Upgrade Guide, or the latest version of the Rapid Recovery Release Notes.
