Installation to multiple instances ?

• 
  The main SQL Backup components consist of the GUI (sqlbackup.exe) and 2 server side components (SQBCoreService.exe and xp_sqlbackup.dll). When you run the regular setup, it installs the GUI (+ a couple of other support files) and also the server components for the default instance.
  
  There is also a file named SQBServerSetup.exe. This is a server side setup file that installs only the 2 server side components.
  
  We assume that you don't want to install the entire set of files for all your instances, so the GUI allows you to install just the server components on your other instances. To do that, select the server instance on the Servers panel, right click and select 'Install/Upgrade server components' item.
  
  This should not be a problem on local servers, but might be a problem on remote servers if they are adequately locked down (I mean, wouldn't you be worried that we were able to copy an executable to your remote server AND run it).
  
  I'll see what I can do to make these steps clearer in the help file. Thanks for the heads

  Thats part of my problem - I cannot register a server /instance to select to install /upgrade.
  In the beta, we had to do 'sqbcoreservice -install -i <instance name>
  ' and then add the x_sprocs thru a query.

  You can register an instance of SQL Server on the Servers panel, regardless of whether it has SQL Backup installed or not.
  
  What is the error you encounter when you try to register the other instances?
