Configure Server for Client Management

Overview

From v3.5 SP3 onwards, client's backup settings and it's backup schedules can be changed from the backup server. Once the client is added and available in the backup server, the backup server administrator or the client can login to the backup server web console and modify client's backup settings and backup schedule details. These changes are saved in the backup server. The client frequently checks with the backup server for any settings changes in the backup server and if available, the client will fetch them and apply. The reports for these activities are recorded in the client in the 'Reports -> Client Management Report' page in the client web console.

In this page, you can specify the backup server from which this client can fetch settings changes. If you have already configured a backup schedule in this client, this client will automatically use the backup server mentioned in that backup schedule for fetching the client settings changes and you therefore don't have to specify the backup server in this page. If you have not configured any backup schedules in this client so far, then you need to specify the backup server in this page to get Centralized Client Management working in this client.

How to get here in the Web Console?
 In the top menu, select: "Settings -> Advanced Options -> Client Management Configuration" page.

Configure Server for Client Management

  • Enable this client for Remote Management from backup server: Choose this option to enable Centralized Client Management feature for this client from the specified backup server. Once a backup server is specified, the client machine will regularly check with the backup server for any new settingchanges available in the backup server that the client can fetch and apply in itself.

    • Server name: The backup server from which the client will fetch setting changes.

  • Disable Remote Management for this client: This option is to disable the Centralized Client Management (CCM) feature. If it is disabled, if any setting changes are specified in the backup server for this client, they will not appear in this client unless CCM is enabled.

Using this feature you can push the following client settings from the specified backup server:

  • Add new backups

  • Backup Window Settings

  • Configure Automatic Software Updates

  • Client Side Bandwidth Throttling

  • Edit backups

  • Run a backup

  • Suspend a backup

  • Resume a backup

  • Delete Backup Data/Schedule

You can fetch the client settings from the backup server manually using the link 'Fetch client settings changes from the backup server now' available at the top of this page.
