About installing the Central Admin Server feature

The Central Admin Server feature is installed as part of the Enterprise Server feature, which is included with Backup Exec Gold and Trial editions. After you enter a license for Backup Exec Gold, on the Configure features panel, you must expand the Backup Exec Features item, and then expand the Enterprise Server Feature item to select the Central Admin Server feature for installation. When you select the Central Admin Server feature for installation, the central administration server is installed. After the central administration server is installed, you can install managed Backup Exec servers.

See Push-installing a managed Backup Exec server from the central administration server.

Before you start the installation, review the information about the location of storage and media data.

See How to choose the location for CAS storage and media data.

A managed Backup Exec server may be installed outside the firewall that the central administration server is installed in or in a different firewall. However, you must set up a static port for SQL Server and create an alias for the managed Backup Exec server.
