Fill out the general configuration settings such as which FQDN (fully qualified domain name ie: yourbackups.yourdomain.com) and Port if needed. Then proceed to building your backup clients that will be provisioned to connect to your new online backup server software.
The backup clients have the option to store backup data locally also, which means you will have two backup vaults one on the client side and one on the backup server. This helps to build in an additional layer of security to assist during time when a restore is required. Restore data directly from your server backup software or restore data locally from the backup client. The backups use block level file compression and encryption to securely transport the data.
