Note

There is an installation mode that allows installing server components on local servers without installing EMS SQL Backup Console.

This mode should be used when a remote installation of server components from EMS SQL Backup Console is impossible due to some reasons but at the same time the installation package can be copied to a server and run there.

To run the server-side components installation using the Stand-alone remote components Installer choose the Server-side only on the third step of the installation wizard.
