# URZ: Installation & Configuration Windows (Backup)

This source provides a technical guide for installing and configuring the university's backup system on Windows platforms. It details the use of URZ-provided PowerShell scripts and Restic binaries to automate data securing.

## Key Implementation Details
- **Deployment Package**: The URZ provides a ZIP file containing PowerShell scripts, a Restic `.exe`, and pre-adjusted configuration files.
- **Installation Workflow**:
    1. **Resource Approval**: A download link is sent after the requested resource is approved via the [[ums]].
    2. **Directory Structure**: A separate installation folder must be created for each backup repository.
    3. **Configuration**: Users must adjust parameters in the configuration files as specified in the `README-UGW.txt` file.
    4. **Execution**: The `install_ugw.ps1` script must be run in an Administrator PowerShell session.
- **Automation**: The installation script initializes the repository and creates a task in the **Windows Task Scheduler** (Windows Aufgabenplanung) to perform daily backups automatically.

## Support
Technical issues are routed through the [[groupware]] ticket system or the URZ hotline (ext. 1420).
