R1soft cdp server enterprise -- Evaluating

Iam testing the backup solution form R1Soft.
I have downloaded the Trial version of Enterprise version 3.

The Server :   CentOS5.5 on vmware player.

Client 1.:  Same machine
Client 2  :  Host XP machine
Client3  :  Another CentOS5.5 running on vmware server on WIn2k3


Step1

Step 2.
Installing the server

Use the enterprise-rpm .

Follow the steps in the Instructions to set username and password

Once server is installed and the service is running
Access it  through your browser.

Step 3.
Install Client on the same machine.
Used rpm-linux32

rpm -i *.rpm

If you have internet connection from the machine everyhthing should work fine.
The r1soft kernel module will be donwloaded from https://krnlbld.r1soft.com/

I had a problem in connecxtion through proxy ;so i had to create and upload the tar.gz file to the website https://krnlbld.r1soft.com/.
Then download the module and put into /lib/modules/r1soft/

Restart the service  cdp-agent after  running the r1soft-setup command to get the server key.


Step4.

After logging into the  browser admin panel.

Follow these steps.

b.Create  new disk safe

c.Create new policy

Fill all the necessary fields

Exclude the directory , check exclude options like *.log

d.Run the policy.

In the task history you can find the details of the running task live.


Tips:
As the cdp server was running on a vmware it was not accessible form the client running on vmware server.So i created a ssh tunnel from server to client to form the connectivity.

Now i will install on the production systems and once tested will license it.
The license cost $348 per client.
