About NetBackup client installation on Windows

The NetBackup client installation wizard for Microsoft Windows lets you select the appropriate setup and installation options from a series of wizard screens. After you select options, a window appears that lets you verify your selections before the installation begins.

While the installation is in progress, a dialog box provides details of the installation and the setup progress. When the installation is completed, a final window shows the results.

Note the following when you install NetBackup client software on Windows systems:

Client installation restrictions

You cannot install NetBackup client software on the computers that currently have NetBackup server software. In these cases, you must first remove the NetBackup server software.

See Removing NetBackup server and client software from Windows servers, clusters, and clients.

User permissions

By default on Windows 2012, 2012 R2, and 2016 Server systems, only administrators have write permission to the Program Files directory.
NetBackup writes log files and progress files to the following location:
Program Files\Veritas\NetBackup\Logs
To perform backups and restores with the Backup, Archive, and Restore interface, users must have write permission to the Logs directory. Users without write permission to this directory receive an error message, and the backup or restore is canceled. The administrator account has write permission by default, but you must ensure that other users also have write permission.
