Update the File System agent on Windows

If you are using an earlier version of PowerProtect Data Manager, the File System agent supports a direct update. You can update the PowerProtect Data Manager File System agent on supported Windows systems in interactive or silent mode.

Update and register the latest version of the PowerProtect Data Manager File System agent for Windows with the same PowerProtect Data Manager server in the same location.

NOTE When you install or update the File System agent, other application agents on the system must be updated to the same version as the File System agent.

Clustered environment requirements and considerations

The same version of the File System agent must be installed on each node in the cluster that is registered with PowerProtect Data Manager.

When the File System agent is updated from an earlier version, the following events occur:

  1. Previous cluster assets with backup copies are displayed with a status of Deleted in Infrastructure > Assets > File System.
  2. Previous cluster assets are removed from protection policies, but their backup copies can be restored. These backup copies are displayed under the name of the cluster node.
  3. New cluster assets are discovered, and then displayed under the name of the logical cluster host in Infrastructure > Assets > File System.
  4. New cluster assets with the same name as previous cluster assets are automatically added to the protection policies from which the previous cluster assets were removed.
