When you install NVivo Server, the following components are installed (if they are not already present):
Windows Installer 4.5
.NET Framework 3.5 SP1
SQL Server 2008 R2 Standard Edition SP2
The installer also performs the following:
NVivo Server is installed with its own SQL Server 2008 R2 Standard Edition database instance (QSRNVIVO9). The SQL Server database instance is created during installation.
The metabase is installed in the QSRNVIVO9 SQL Server instance. The NVivo Server metabase contains data used by NVivo Server to manage server roles and permissions, licenses and projects.
The NVivo Service runs as a Windows Service under the server’s local system account (NT AUTHORITY\System). This account is granted the necessary database permissions at install time.
NVivo Server Manager is installed—this is a browser-based application which runs in Internet Information Services (IIS). Under IIS, the application is installed in the NVivo10 web application pool.
The following are not supported:
Any other installation of SQL Server, or any other SQL Server database instance
Installation of both NVivo Server 9 and NVivo Server 10 on the same server
Installation of any other software that uses SQL Server
SQL Server database mirroring
SQL Server failover clustering
Deployment of the service and database components of NVivo Server to separate machines
Customization of the SQL Server instance, the NVivo Server metabase, NVivo Service or NVivo Server Manager settings

This release contains the following features and enhancements:
Schedule regular backups: Create a backup schedule via NVivo Server Manager that runs automatically and backs up all NVivo Server projects.
Restore projects from backup: If you need to restore a project from a backup file, you can now do this via NVivo Server Manager.
Set file locations for new projects: Now you can choose the location of data and log files for new projects via NVivo Server Manager (rather than using SQL Server Management Studio).
Identify Project Owners: Now you can identify the Project Owners for a particular project via NVivo Server Manager. You may want to identify Project Owners, because they can give other users access to their project.
