  • Always install and test first using the 60 day trial license, that way you don't buy agents you don't need 
  • Don't install from an RDP session - the installer reminds you, and you might well try&do it anway but you often run into annoying setup issues
  • Always do a custom install
  • Don't install using your regular user account, better to log as the backup service account and do all the install - you can always lock down the account after install if required (otherwise when you change your passwords backups start to go astray)
  • don't install everything on to your C:\ drive, especially if its only a 10gb partition
