Now that CPS has been installed, the following configuration steps must be performed to configure the appliance for
CPS backup operations:
1. Installing Continuous Protection Agents on remote systems
NOTE: This step is not required if a Backup Exec Agent for Windows System is already installed on a
remote server. An agent must be installed on each remote system being protected by CPS.
2. Creating Backup Destinations – Backup destinations are the locations that contain the CPS backup data
3. Create Backup Jobs – Determine the data that is protected by CPS.
4. Seed the data – Data seeding is the process of creating an initial copy of the backup data outside the Backup
Exec Continuous Protection Server framework before any continuous protection jobs have been run. This is
not required; however, copying the initial data using this methodology is beneficial in environments where
continuous protection jobs are run over slow network connections such as a Wide Area Network (WAN).
