NovaBACKUP Storage Server
Installation
To start installation, click or run the Setup executable to begin the installer wizard. After a few
seconds, the NovaBACKUP Storage Server Wizard will open. Click next, and the License
Agreement screen opens.
The NovaBACKUP Storage Server installer and Configuration Manager are compatible with
Windows Server 2012 Core. Simply run the setup program from the command prompt and
follow the instructions below. The storage server and related utilities are installed in the
\Program Files\NovaBACKUP Storage Server folder on your system drive. All of the programs
may be run from the command line. For additional information, see the Command Line
Reference section of this document.

If you accept the terms of the license, click inside the box next to I accept the terms in the
License Agreement.
Click next to move to the next installation step.
The Custom Setup screen opens:
In this screen, the default location for the data files is shown. You can also select a different
location by clicking on Browse and selecting an alternate location. If you are unsure of the
amount of space available on your drives, clicking on Disk Usage will open the following screen:

NovaStor recommends that you use the C: drive for the SQL databases associated with the
NovaBACKUP Storage Server. Once you have selected the target drive, or if you choose to go
with the defaults, press Next, and you will advance to the Service Account screen.
If you are performing an Upgrade, you do not need to re-install the database portion unless you
want to install a ”dummy” database. If you do this, you must edit your backup server.ini to the
correct database after install before the backup server connects to the original database.
Press Next to move to the next step in installation. The next screen asks you which type of SQL
program will be used for the database services required by the xSP Storage Server. Because
MySQL* is an open source SQL database program, support for MySQL from NovaStor is very
limited. We find that Microsoft SQL Server is a better commercial product developed and
supported by Microsoft and a network of consultants, and has numerous online support forums.
NovaStor encourages the use of Microsoft SQL Server with NovaBACKUP Storage Server if at
all possible.

Select the SQL Server Provider, and Click Next.
Coming to the next screen, you choose the correct instance of SQL, and use either Windows or
SQL authentication. If you are not familiar at all with SQL please use Windows authentication.
When you choose SQL server and it asks for the account, this is the sa account. Remember if
you want to us the sa account it must be enabled in SQL, and you must have a password
activated. We find that setting your SQL to use mixed mode authentication is helpful and will get
you through any issues on this screen. Still, we find the majority of customers who have no SQL
knowledge getting stuck on this particular screen. If you are not sure what to put in the SQL
server field, or what an instance name is, open SQL Server Management Studio. The very first
screen in Management Studio has the SQL instance name you can copy and paste into the
setup wizard.

If you are browsing for SQL instances and cannot see anything listed, the SQL Browser service
will need to be turned on for you to be able to have the instances automatically detected in the
wizard.
The SQL Server names available on the network are retrieved by the NovaBACKUP Storage
Server installer. The server instances shown may not be the instance you choose to use. The
database name field at the bottom will be the name given to the database when it is created.
The default is always BackupServer, but this can be changed to anything you like.
Click Next to continue.
This next screen will ask for your Windows Administrator username for the machine with SQL
installed on it. Adding the domain name is optional.
