The more practical way to manage the software is installing again the software in management only mode on a Windows or Linux desktop: when installing you will be asked to specify the hostname/ip address of the backup server you want to manage; do not install services on your workstation: is not needed. When installation has completed you can launch your console to connect to YB/DPE service running on your SME server.<BR>

You can now configure your backup sets following the YB/DPE manual: basically protect the admin access with a password (both YB and DPE manage their own security and users).<BR>

Remember to select the files to backup in the same way SME does for its backup on tape or disk: this command will give a listing of the files & folders included in a standard backup & restore, as per a default install of SME server:

this instruction forces Data Protector or Yosemite service to bind to a specific IP address and is necessary with multihomed servers but sometimes is required with single network card configurations too.
