Step 5 - Install a Private Cloud Vault

You need to set up a Private Cloud Vault where your devices will be backed up to.

A Private Cloud Vault is a storage area that can be installed on a server at your premises or on a remote server in a data center. It securely stores backup data from your activated devices.

Note

The Private Cloud Vault software is available for Windows Server 64 bit and Linux. See System Requirements

 

Download and install the Private Cloud Vault Package - Windows

Note

To register a Vault, you will need to have the email address and password of an Endpoint Cloud user account with the Administrator or Security Officer role.

  1. Click Vaults.

  3. When the Private Cloud Vault package downloads, find it on your computer and copy it to your server.
  4. On the server, install the Private Cloud Vault software. You can install it to the default location or choose another location if you prefer.
    Important

    You must choose a location that has a suitable amount of storage space for your data. We usually recommend 20GB per user, but this can vary depending on the type and amount of data your organization uses.

    Follow the steps of the installation wizard. 

    When you have installed the software, make sure Register Now is checked and then click Next.
