About installing the Enterprise Vault Agent

Last published : Apr 02, 2026
The Agent for Enterprise Vault (Enterprise Vault Agent) is installed as part of the Agent for Applications and Databases feature. To back up all Enterprise Vault servers, the Enterprise Vault Agent must be installed on each Enterprise Vault server in your environment. In addition, the Enterprise Vault Agent must also be installed on any remote computer where Enterprise Vault components are installed. If the Compliance and Discovery Accelerators are installed on remote computers, the Enterprise Vault Agent must be installed on those computers too.
You can install the Enterprise Vault Agent in the following ways:
  • Install it automatically from the Backup Exec server as part of an Agent for Windows installation to the local Enterprise Vault server. After you finish the installation, you may need to configure the Enterprise Vault Agent to publish itself to a Backup Exec server of your choice.

  • Install the required Enterprise Vault Agent licenses on the Backup Exec server.
After you install the licenses, you can push-install the Backup Exec Agent for Windows to all Enterprise Vault servers and the computers where other Enterprise Vault components are installed.
