Steps

1

Extract the download

Right-click the downloaded .zip file and choose Extract All.
2

Run the installer

Right-click install.bat and choose Run as administrator. Windows may show a security prompt — click Yes to allow it.
3

Wait for confirmation

The installer creates the necessary folders, registers the agent as a Windows service, and starts it automatically. You’ll see a confirmation message when it’s done.
4

Check the dashboard

Within about 30 seconds, your agent appears on the Agents page with an online status.

​
Running as a service

The agent installs as a Windows service named savemydbAgent. This means it starts automatically when the server boots and keeps running in the background — you don’t need to keep a terminal window open. You can manage it like any other Windows service:

​
Uninstalling

To remove the agent, stop and delete the service, then delete the install folder:
Then delete the savemydb folder from Program Files.
This stops backups from running, but doesn’t delete backups already stored — those remain in your chosen storage.
