Add a Server to a Zoolz Account

/Account Management /Getting Started /Add a Server to a Zoolz Account

Introduction

You can utilize the Zoolz service for backing up data from Windows Servers, provided they fulfill the necessary prerequisites.

To back up data from a Windows Server to Zoolz, the server needs to be added to the desired Zoolz account.

Backing up Windows Servers is a feature available exclusively with Zoolz Business accounts. If you are currently on a Zoolz Home plan, we invite you to explore our Business plans here. For assistance with upgrading to a Business plan, please contact our Sales Team.

 

How to Add a Server to a Zoolz Account

Step 1. On the target server, sign in to the Zoolz account where you want to add it.

Step 2. Refer to the Users/Servers tab, and click the Add Server button.

Step 3. From the User drop-down menu, choose the designated user who will be responsible for overseeing the backup management of this server. Optionally, configure the Storage limits for the added server. Additionally, you may specify a backup policy for this server if required. Finally, proceed by clicking the Add Server button.

If you want to add a new user, please follow the steps here.

Step 4. From the Add Server Completed pop-up window, copy the provided Activation Token and click the Proceed with download setup button. This will download the Zoolz setup file (EXE) on the server.

Step 5. Once the Zoolz setup is downloaded on the server, run it and proceed with installing the Zoolz desktop application on the target server.

Important! During the last phase of the installation, a Zoolz Server Authentication dialog will appear. Input the Windows username and password associated with the user profile under which you are installing the Zoolz application. This Windows profile must possess Administrator privileges on the server. If the profile is part of a domain, specify the domain name followed by the username in the format: DomainName\UserName.

Failure to complete this step will impede Zoolz’s ability to perform any backup operations on this server.

Step 6. After installing the Zoolz application on the server, proceed to activate it by utilizing the Zoolz login credentials of the designated User for this server’s backup, as specified in Step 3. Additionally, input the Activation Token for this server exactly as it appeared in the Add Server Completed box, as outlined in Step 4.

Step 7. If you have not assigned a backup policy to manage the backup for this server already, proceed to configure the backup via the Zoolz application.

Once completed, the Zoolz application will begin backing up the selected data from this server to the Cloud, and this data will be listed under the Zoolz profile of the selected user in Step 3 above.
