Upgrade Options
There are two upgrade paths available to start taking advantage of the enhanced backup agent now.
- Download the installer.exe from Backup Ops and run the installer directly over-top of an existing installation.
- Use the Upgrade tab in Backup Ops and start performing managed upgrades for computers, that will pull down the staged INI with the upgrade command and automatically upgrade after the subsequent web console connection.
Upgrade Option Steps for Performing Managed Upgrades From the Web Console
Step 1
Login to your Backup Ops (web console) go to the new “Upgrade” tab.
From the list you will see all of the computers “Ready” to upgrade, you can select a single instance, a batch, or all of them at once.
Step 2
Use the checkboxes to mark the computers you want to stage the upgrade for and click “Submit”. This will process the upgrade to initialize on the backup agents next connection, changing its status to “Staged”.
After hitting the submit button you can review the output result of the operation.
Step 3
Now you can monitor the progress of the upgrades, the backup agents that have fully migrated will now have the “Upgraded” status.
Upgrade Option Steps for Installing Directly Over-Top of an Existing Installation
Step 1
Login to your Backup Ops (web console) go to the “Brands” tab.
From the brand list, you will see a new brand_installer.exe file available to download. Go ahead and download it now.
Step 2
Put the brand_installer.exe file on the target computer and launch the install wizard by double-clicking the file.
Step 3
- If the existing client is open close it first.
- Ensure the installation wizard is looking at the same path as the existing installation e.g.) c:\Program Files\YourBrand
After the wizard completes the new GUI will be launched by the operating systems default web browser — Boom! A beautiful new looking backup agent that retained all of the existing history, settings and data selections.
Note:
Once you stage the upgrade the next time the computer connects it will pick up the changes and automatically upgrade.
This operation is one-way once a computer upgrades, however, the classic GUI will still exist in the installation folder and can be launched by using a special “-legacy” flag on the brandname_gui.exe –legacy
That’s it

See What Our Partners Are Saying About Us
After trying multiple name brand backup vendors, we finally Partnered with WholesaleBackup and couldn’t be happier with the functionality and cost.
I am very impressed with the level of customer care and communication you have put forth into making sure that our setup with you guys goes smoothly. It is rare nowadays to find vendors that take pride in their products as well as show concern for a client’s well-being.
We were able to quickly restore our clients data without any issues using their last good backup – saving them from total data loss and stopping their business!
Your response time to any and all my request is far superior to any customer service I’ve ever received my ENTIRE CAREER.
After using another white-label cloud backup solution for years, switching to WholesaleBackup has been a lifesaver. MUCH less maintenance, cost, bandwidth, and the U.S. based support is the stellar. The software and interface is SO much simpler and easy to use. I would recommend WholesaleBackup to any MSP looking to streamline their cloud backup system.
