PowerProtect Data Manager 19.17 for Cyber Recovery User Guide

Initial installation workflow

For the first installation of the Index Engines CyberSense and Cyber Recovery software, see the following workflow:

1. Install the Index Engines CyberSense software using the procedures described in the Index Engines CyberSense Initial Setup and Configuration Guide.
2. Install the Cyber Recovery software, using the procedures described in the Dell PowerProtect Cyber Recovery Installation Guide. Then, configure your Cyber Recovery deployment and create:
   • Policies
   • Copies for analysis
   • Multilink definitions
3. On the Index Engines CyberSense engine, assign DD Boost users to multilink definitions described in the Configuring DD Boost users section of the Index Engines CyberSense Initial Setup and Configuration Guide.

Update workflows

When you are updating the Index Engines CyberSense and Cyber Recovery software, you must update to at least the following required minimum versions:

• CyberSense 8.2
• Cyber Recovery 19.13

Two common scenarios for updating the Cyber Recovery software and CyberSense software include:

• Updating both the Cyber Recovery software and the CyberSense software
• Updating the Cyber Recovery software and installing the CyberSense software

Updating from earlier versions

If you already have versions of the CyberSense and Cyber Recovery software installed in your deployment, do the following:

1. On the Index Engines engine, add DD Boost users by using the Index Engines ddboostcfg tool.
2. Update the CyberSense software to at least version 8.2. See the Upgrading the Index Engines software section of the Index Engines CyberSense Initial Setup and Configuration Guide.
   NOTE:If you have not added DD Boost users, the update fails.
3. Update the Cyber Recovery software to at least version 19.13. See the Dell PowerProtect Cyber Recovery Installation Guide.
   NOTE:After the Cyber Recovery update, if analyze schedules exist, the software automatically creates multilink definitions. It also imports the DD Boost users that were added in step 1, allowing the multilink definitions to be active.

Updating Cyber Recovery and installing CyberSense

If you are updating the Cyber Recovery software to version 19.13 or higher and installing CyberSense version 8.2 or higher, follow the procedure under the Initial Installation workflow section, updating the Cyber Recovery software in step 2 of the procedure.
