Installing BDRShield Image Backup Driver

Installing BDRShield Image Backup Driver

BDRShield Image Backup Driver is installed to read and fetch information regarding the disks and volumes in the added target machine. It tracks the changes that have happened between the backup schedules. To track the changes, the driver creates a file named bitmap.dat in the backup volumes.
  1. You will be requested to install the BDRShield Image Backup driver to list the disks and drives for configuring the backup job.
  2. Once the link is clicked, the driver installation will start automatically. After the driver is installed successfully, the target machine will be rebooted to update the driver installed and for the creation of the registry.
  3. After the machine restarts, log in to the added target machine for the configured registry details to be applied in the machine so that the BDRShield Backup Server will list the disks and volumes of the target machine.
  4. Login to the BDRShield Backup Server and proceed to configure the backup job. Navigate and click the Backup tab and choose Microsoft Windows
  5. Click the Backup option near the respective Windows server.
