A new basic veritas (or symantec) DLO server can be setup using:

  1. Download appropriate version (Latest is 9.x at time of writing). Older versions such as 8.x are compatible with older server OS (2008 R2).
  2. Download appropriate Symantec DLO administrator guide
  3. Install DLO server as explained in administrative guide. If there is already an existing SQL server instance on the server, which also accepts AD administrative credentials, then use the same instance instead of setting up a new DB.
  4. During installation when prompted for key use my.veritas.com login and get keys.
  5. On the Desktop install the agent using graphical mode without using any silent option.
  6. Database and DLO management can be done using AD administrator account so there is no need to create any separate DLO administrators for basic setup.
  7. We can avoid creating a de-dupe server for initial basic setup. We can create one later.
  8. Create a test backup profile with following values:
    Profile name
    test profile
    Description
    Test profile
    Enable profile
    Yes
    Enable Dedupe
    No
    Enable BOI
    No
    VIP Profile
    No
    Limit for network user data folder
    Unlimited or no limit
    Enable Desktop user data folder
    Yes (This will help us in debugging in case we face difficulty in using DLO)
    Limit Desktop user data folder to
    Unlimited or no limit
    No backup throttling
    Backup selections
    Desktop, My documents, outlook, etc. based on options available.
    User settings
    Give most access to user. (This will help us in debugging in case we face difficulty in using DLO)
    Schedule
    According to a schedule
    Logout/Restart/Shutdown options
    Do nothing
    Choose appropriate backup schedule. Leave everything else default. We will any way run backup once using "Backup now" options of administrative console.
  9. Create a DLO storage location with Default values and automatic creation of storage location.
  10. We can avoid automated user assignment for basic setup. We can create one desktop and user pair for initial testing
  11. Manually create share for DLO. Only if automatic creation in above steps fails.
  12. Add a single user to DLO. Enable the user for giving access to DLO desktop agent.
  13. Select computer where agent is installed. Look at properties and default values.
  14. Run backup now for a desktop computer using DLO console
  15. Verify that backup has come to the shared folder and also to user data folder on the desktop machine.
  16. If required test restore.
