Install Arcserve Unified Data Protection Agent for Linux in AWS Cloud

Compared to traditional installation in a Linux machine, you can launch an Arcserve UDP Agent (Linux) instance directly using Amazon Machine Image (AMI) in AWS Cloud. After the Arcserve UDP Agent (Linux) instance is launched, you can open the user interface from any computer using a web browser and the server is referred as Backup Server.

Verify that Port 8016 used by d2ddss and 8021 used by cresvc are enabled for the Custom TCP Rule Type and configure the Source of the rule to Custom.
Note: You can specify the custom source with CIDR format to let d2ddss and cresvc serve the Linux instances that are in the same subnet with Arcserve UDP Agent (Linux) but not accessible by other internet machines. For example, if the subnet CIDR is 102.31.16.0/20, you can also specify the source to 102.31.16.0/20.

The seventh tab Review appears.
Verify details by selecting or creating a key pair to connect your instance to complete Step 7: Review Instance Launch, and then click Launch Instance.
From the launched Arcserve UDP Agent (Linux) instance, set a new password for udpuser as below:

```
Note: The default username of Arcserve UDP Agent (Linux) management UI is udpuser.
(optional) If you want to switch to other language, you can modify the configuration file in the Arcserve UDP Agent (Linux) server:
/opt/Arcserve/d2dserver/nls/nls.cfg
And then set D2D_LANG=$OTHER_LANGUAGE and restart the d2dserver with the below command:
#/opt/Arcserve/d2dserver/bin/d2dserver restart
Note: English is the default language of Arcserve UDP Agent (Linux).
Now, Arcserve UDP Agent (Linux) is ready to use in AWS Cloud and the URL to browse the Linux Backup Server is https://$INSTANCE_IP:8014.
