Installing TimeData continuous data protection

1. Depending on your Storage Mirroring Replicate installation selections, the

TimeData installation may automatically launch immediately following the Storage
Mirroring Replicate installation. If it did not start automatically or if you are installing
it separately from the Storage Mirroring Replicate installation, start the TimeData
installation program using the appropriate instructions, depending on your media
source.

CD—Load the Storage Mirroring Replicate CD into the local CD-ROM drive.
If auto-run is enabled, the installation program will start automatically. To
manually start the program, select Start, Run and specify drive>:\setup\TimeData\TimeData.exe.

Web download—Unzip the .exe file that you downloaded from the web to a
temporary location and select Start, Run and specify location>\setup\TimeData\TimeData.exe.

2. At the Welcome screen, click Next.
3. Review and accept the license agreement to continue with the installation

program. Click Next to continue.

4. Specify your User Name and Organization and click Next to continue.
5. Select the directory where you want to install TimeData and click Next to continue.

Note:

For best results, you should separate the various TimeData components
that you will be prompted to install (TimeData Event log, TimeData drive
letter, SQL Server, and TimeData Event cache) on different drives.

6. Specify the location to store the TimeData Event log. For best results, do not select

a drive containing Windows system files.

7. Select the drive letter to indicate where the TimeData continuous data protection

historical files will be stored. A TS_Drive network share will be created on the
drive. The drive will be accessible through Windows Explorer and other
applications.

8. Click Next to continue.
9. Select the directory where you want to install the SQL Server databases used with

TimeData and click Next to continue.

10. Specify the location to store the TimeData Event cache, which temporarily stores

data until it can be stored in the TimeData Event log.

11. Specify the maximum size of the TimeData Event cache. By default, the maximum

size is 20 GB. Make sure you have sufficient disk space in the selected location for
the Event cache.
