Backup for SharePoint 6.12

Installing on a standalone SharePoint server

When you install Microsoft SharePoint, you can choose to perform a "standalone" or basic install on a single server that hosts all of the SharePoint components. The installer optimizes the component settings on a standalone SharePoint farm for the standalone environment. If you install Metalogix Backup for SharePoint on a standalone farm, you must make certain changes to these settings to give Metalogix Backup for SharePoint access to both the farm components and its own components.

When you install on a multi-server farm, you do not need to make these changes. The changes are required only for standalone or basic installations of SharePoint 2013, 2016, 2019 or Subscription Edition.

You must make these changes to your standalone SharePoint server before you install Metalogix Backup for SharePoint. Until you make the changes, Metalogix Backup for SharePoint cannot complete the Configuration wizard and install the Backup Service.

·Enable TCP/IP for the SQL Server instance. The instance name is <server name>\SHAREPOINT.

·Enable Named Pipes for the SQL Server instance.

In the Services Control Panel, do the following:

·Set the startup type of the SQL Server Agent to Automatic.

·Set the startup type of the SQL Server Browser to Automatic.

·Start or restart the SQL Server Agent.

You can then install Metalogix Backup for SharePoint as described in the topic Installing on a dedicated server and run the Configuration wizard.

When you have completed the Configuration wizard, immediately quit the Management Console. In the Services Control Panel, change the login account for the SharePoint VSS Writer service to LocalSystem then restart the service. Before you install Metalogix Backup for SharePoint, the SharePoint VSS Writer service runs as Local Service. As part of the Configuration wizard, Metalogix Backup for SharePoint issues the command stsadm registervsswriter(Register-SPVssWriter for SharePoint Subscription Edition), which changes the account. When you set the service to run as LocalSystem, you are returning the service to its original settings.

After making the changes, you can use Metalogix Backup for SharePoint normally.
