29.1 Cloud Document Backup Server: Installation and Deployment
The Cloud Document Backup Server can back up specified types of documents to prevent the loss of important data. It supports deploying multiple backup servers, but each client machine can upload its backup documents to only one server. Administrators can view and manage data through the web management interface and can assign different permission levels to users, allowing them to access and view backup data within their authorized scope.
After installing the Cloud Document Backup Server, perform the necessary initialization and configure the relevant policies for the server to function properly.
29.1.1 Installation
Installation
The Cloud Document Backup Server can be installed on the same machine as the main server or on a separate machine. To install, simply double-click the setup program and follow these steps:
- 1. Double-click FileCloudBackupServer.exe, select the installation language, and click OK.
- 2. A welcome screen will appear. Click Next to continue.
- 3. The license agreement will be displayed. Read it carefully, then check I agree to the User Agreement and I agree to the Privacy Policy, and click Next.

29.1.2 Database Connection Settings
After installing and deploying the Cloud Document Backup Server, the first login requires database connection setup. Once connected, the server will create the Cloud Document Backup database. Open a browser and enter the server address to access the database connection settings interface.
Server address examples:
- 1. IP + default port 80: 192.168.2.203
- 2. IP + non-default port 8080: 192.168.2.203:8080
- 3. Domain + mapped port: tec.oicp.net:10941
- 4. With http prefix: http://192.168.2.203
The port number refers to the port manually set during the Cloud Document Backup Server installation (default is 80). For the default port, specifying it is optional; for non-default ports, the port must be appended after the IP. Only the HTTP protocol is supported (http prefix is optional); HTTPS is not supported.
The Database Connection Settings interface requires the following information:
| Parameter |
Description |
| Account |
The database account used for connection, e.g., root. |
| Password |
The password for the database account. When installed via the Cloud Document Backup Server installer, the default password for the root account is mysql. |
| Port |
The database port. When installed via the Cloud Document Backup Server installer, the default port is 3306. |
29.1.3 Initialize Cloud Backup Server
After completing the database connection settings, the first login requires initialization. Enter the server address in a browser to open the initialization interface.
The first login initialization interface requires the following information:
| Parameter |
Description |
| AnySecura Server Address |
The address of the connected AnySecura server, e.g., 192.168.2.236 |
| Account |
Administrator account with "Cloud Document Backup Server → Configuration Permission" |

After the first successful login, the Cloud Document Backup Server must be restarted.
29.1.4 Cloud Backup Server Parameter Settings
Log in to the Cloud Backup Server web management interface, go to Settings → Parameter Settings, and configure the required parameters.
To ensure the Cloud Backup Server operates correctly, make sure all parameters are properly set and valid.
29.1.5 Authorize Cloud Backup Server
After initializing the Cloud Document Backup Server, it must be authorized through the AnySecura console connected to the corresponding server.
In the console, go to Tools → Server Management → Cloud Backup Server Management, select the corresponding Cloud Backup Server from the list, and click Authorize. Once successful, the server status will change to Authorized. Clicking Revoke Authorization will revert the server status to Unauthorized.
29.1.6 Set Backup Scope
The default backup scope for client machines is empty. In the console, go to Tools → Server Management → Cloud Backup Server Management, select the Cloud Backup Server, and click Set Scope. In the pop-up selection window, check the computers or computer groups whose documents you want to back up, then click OK to complete the configuration. The documents from the selected machines will be backed up to this Cloud Backup Server.
29.1.7 Set Associated Users
The Cloud Document Backup Server only backs up documents from computers with associated users.
If a domain structure has been synchronized via the console (Tools → Server Management → Organization Sync), domain users who log in to a client machine for the first time will automatically become associated users for that computer.
For client machines without automatically associated users, administrators can manually associate users in the console under Tools → Server Management → User System Management → Association Info.
29.1.8 Set Backup Policies
By default, document backup on client computers is disabled. Log in to the console under Advanced → Cloud Document Backup to enable or disable backup for specific computers and configure backup conditions.
