Ordering R1Soft®

Ordering R1Soft®

You have two options to order R1Soft® for your bare metal server. You can order it as part of your initial provisioning, or you can add it to an existing bare metal server.

Provisioning R1Soft® with a new bare metal server

Use the Building a custom Bare Metal Server procedure and select the following options:

  • A bare metal with monthly billing.

    Hourly billing does not have the R1Soft® option.

  • In the CDP Add-on section, select the number of agents to add. You need one agent for every system that you need to back up.

Ordering R1Soft® on an existing server

Follow the OS Reload procedure. In the Installed software section edit the CDP Addon category, select R1Soft®, and select the agent pack. You need one agent for every system that you want to back up.
