This page lists the Customers available under a particular reseller in a tree format in the left hand side and in a table format in the right hand side. The Customer tree will have list of clients under each Customer node and the list of backup schedules configured under each client node.
Clicking on the Customers root node in the tree will display the List Of Customers in a table format on the right hand side.
Clicking on a Customer node in the tree will display the List Of Clients under the customer in a table format on the right hand side.
Clicking on a Client node in the tree will display the List Of Backup Schedules under the client in a table format on the right hand side.
Clicking on a Backup Schedule node in the tree will display the different Server Side Backup Reports (Backup Report, Restore Report and Deleted Reports) for the backup schedule.
The table columns and the actions for the list of customers table on the right hand side is described below:
Add New Customer - Clicking on this link will take you to the 'Add New Customer' page. You can add a new customer in the Server from this page.
Customer Name - This is the name of the customer you provided when the customer was added to the server. Each Customer name has to be unique, even across different Reseller accounts (if Reseller management is enabled)
MCALs Allotted - This is the number of MCALs allotted to the Customer. If the clients under a Customer consume all of the MCALs allotted to the Customer, then none of the Clients can backup even though there may be MCALs available in the backup server. It is not required to allocate MCALs to the Customer. If MCALs are not allocated to the Customer, then the backup server will automatically use the MCALs available in the server pool. You only need to allocate MCALs to a Customer if you want to restrict only certain number of clients to backup.
Total MCALs used till date - This is the total number of MCALs used by the different client machines under this Customer.
