SeFlow Cloud Backup uses the Client Agent to talk with the Console and backup your files.
The macOS operating system requires codesigning to be enabled in order to launch a downloaded .pkg
file. If you have not configured codesigning for macOS, you will be unable to launch the installer. However, you can bypass this by right-clicking the .pkg
file and choosing Open.
First of all, we need to download the package. Log in to your console at https://backup.seflow.net and press the "Download" button.
Upload on your server and run the installer with SeFlow Backup.pkg
Once installed, the client software prompts for account details to log in.
If you are running the .pkg
file from the Downloads directory, macOS will offer to move the .pkg
file to the Trash after a successful installation.
Upgrading
The installer will safely remove and upgrade any prior versions of SeFlow Backup
Silent upgrade (advanced)
You can silently upgrade the software remotely via the SeFlow Backup Console, or by running /usr/sbin/installer -allowUntrusted -pkg "SeFlow Backup.pkg" -target /
via your remote management software.
Uninstall
macOS does not have a standard system for uninstalling programs. However, you can still uninstall SeFlow by running the following command from a terminal window:
sudo -u root "/Applications/SeFlow Backup.app/Contents/Resources/uninstall"
This will automatically stop all running SeFlow Backup processes, unregister SeFlow's launchd
services, and remove all application files from the disk.
Uninstalling the software preserves any username/password credentials saved on this computer. If you also want to remove the saved username/password credentials, add this command-line:
sudo -u root "/Applications/SeFlow Backup.app/Contents/Resources/uninstall" --also-remove-saved-passwords
