Introduction
Ensuring that your systems are protected with a reliable Disaster Recovery (DR) backup is essential for maintaining business continuity in the event of unexpected disruptions. BigMIND supports Disaster Recovery backup for Windows, macOS, and Linux servers, allowing for comprehensive protection across various platforms. Follow the steps below to set up DR backup for your systems.
How to Configure Disaster Recovery Backup
- Log in to your BigMIND web console as an admin user.
- Click Manage next to Disaster Recovery on your Dashboard page. This will open the Cyber Protect web console in a new tab.
- On the left-side menu of the Cyber Protect web console, click on Devices.
- In the top-right corner, click Add.
- Select the platform for Workstations or Servers needed.
- Follow the setup instructions to install the Cyber Protect agent.
- After installation finishes:
- If you are logged in to your account on the web, simply click Register the machine button on the installed desktop agent and it will automatically be registered to your account.
- If you are not logged in to your account on the web (for the cases of IT admins installing the software on multiple devices), click Show registration info and copy the Registration code shown. Then, follow steps 1 through 4, then select REGISTER under REGISTRATION VIA CODE. Fill the field and click CHECK CODE.
- You can now find your machine under the All devices section on the left-side menu of the Disaster Recovery Management web console.
- Select the machine you wish to set up DR backup for and click the Enable Protection button.
- You can edit the name of the plan, set the backup schedule, and select what to back up (Entire machine, disks/volumes, or system state).
- Click Done.
- Now you’re prompted to download a bootable ISO image for recovery purposes, do that and keep it somewhere reachable.
