Free Backup Space available - Free space available in the server which is not allocated to any Group i.e., it is the difference between total backup space in the server and the total backup space allotted to groups.
The link “Edit Disk Space Allocated for Server/Group/Client” takes the user to Settings -> Disk Space & Client Management. This lists the groups, their clients and their backup schedules with their MCAL and Space details. The space settings can be edited here.
Automatically add clients when they connect to the server [Enable/Disable] - If you want the clients under this group to backup without adding the client names ( IDs) manually in the server, then keep the Auto Authorization enabled for this group. Note that if you disable Auto Authorization for a group (say, ABC Inc.) and if ABC Inc. has 5 MCALs allocated to it, then you can allow clients from ABC Inc. to backup until the 5 MCALs are used. The Clients will be automatically created in the server when the clients backup to this server for the first time. Note that only clients tagged with the group name ABC Inc. (entered during installation) will be allowed to backup to this server under the group ABC Inc. Clients without a valid group name would come under the Default Group. Email Reports (Enable/Disable) - You can enable Email Reports for particular Customer to receive email reports of backup/restore/delete/replication modules of the clients present under this particular Customer to the email address given in the 'Email' option. Receive Backup Status Email Reports (Enable/Disable) - You can enable Backup Status Email Reports for the Customer account. When it is enabled, the Customer will receive a status report of the backups from all the clients present under the particular Customer to the email address specified in the Customer account. The Customer will receive this email report only if Client backup status email report is enabled. This email report would be generated based on the filter options set in the Client backup status email report. Web Portal Access[Enable/Disable] : You can enable web-portal access to your group by which the group can log into the web console of the backup server and manage the backups of the client machines listed under that group. If you would like to enable the web access for the group, then you need to specify a user name and a password which the group will use to log into the backup server web console.
User Name : The user name that the group will use to log into the backup server web console to manage the backups of that group.
