New Features Released for the Backup Management Web Console

The Backup Web Console (Backup Operations) has undergone some new enhancements

Here is a quick overview about the new features for the backup web console and how you can start using them now.

Creating New Users

Provision users that will login to the backup web console and manage or monitor backup accounts and data. They will have access to the Home, Storage, Transfers and Report tab. But will only see the accounts and data you have set for them.

Creating Custom Views for Users

Define a specific view for your user by assigning a particular set of accounts or brands to that user. They will then have access the all the backup metrics under those accounts, which will be displayed to them under the Home, Storage, Transfers and Report tab. You can easily adjust the view settings for users at anytime. Once a user and view has been created in the Web Console you can send them an email invitation to sign-in.

Defining Custom SMTP Email Settings

Input your own SMTP email settings, this will ensure that all of emails, alerts, and reports originating from the Web Console and delivered to your users or customers will be coming from you or your company. You can also share your SMTP settings with your users or have them user their own.
