You will have to compile the kernel module using the kernel headers. The program {{serverbackup-setup}} will obtain all the information needed to compile a module from your running kernel.

In order for kernel module compilation to work, you should must have Internet connectivity directly from the Linux server you are installing Server Backup on, to TCP port HTTPS (443), on the host {{krnlbld.r1soft.com}}.

You can test connectivity with the following command (this may take a minute):

h4. 3.5 Build Server Backup Kernel Module Offline (without direct Internet connection to R1Soft build server)

If there is no direct Internet connection between your server and Idera build server, it is still possible to compile the kernel module. In this case, this will be three-step process. First, you will have to create a tarball file with the kernel headers. When you should copy this tarball file from the server to some other computer which has Internet connection to Idera build server. From this computer you should upload the tarball to the build server and wait for the compilation to finish. When it is finished, you should download binary module and copy it back to the server Backup Agent runs on. Start with executing the following command:
