By default, the installation path is  “C:\Program Files (x86)\Quest\NetVault Backup”

We change it for : E:\Quest\NetvaultBackup for the following reasons :

1/ We don’t want to install the software on the C:/, C:/ is mainly for operating system, but you can install where you want.

2/ We delete “Program Files (x86) and the space between NetVault & Backup, for scripting usage, it’s easier to manage a path without () and space.

Choose the name of your server then click Next

Type the password you want then click Next

You can change the path where the NetVault database is install (database contains mainly the catalog of your backup), you will have to specify a volume with a good amount of free space (depending of what you gonna backup). Change the path if necessary then click Next
