To configure services on a standalone SharePoint server

Use this procedure for standalone SharePoint servers where the installation type is single server. For the farm installation type, see To configure a farm for Unitrends protection. To check your SharePoint installation type, see To determine the SharePoint installation type.

1        Add the server to the Unitrends backup system as described in About adding clients. This installs the Unitrends Windows agent.

Be sure to setup administrative trust credentials during the registration process.

2        Log in to the SharePoint server.

3        Open Services and verify that the following services are running. If not, start them.

     SharePoint 2010/2013 Timer or Windows SharePoint Services Timer.

     SharePoint 2010/2013 Administrator or Windows SharePoint Services Administration.

4        For each of the above services, set the startup type to automatic.

Once services are running and set to automatic, the server can be protected by the Unitrends system. See Executing SharePoint backups to start protecting the server.
