6. Clients

This section only applies to the

Network Edition

license option.


A client is defined as any system that will be backed up using the Backup Administrator. If backups are to be
performed of the

backup administrator

itself, or any

backup servers

, they should also be configured as clients.

Any number of clients may be added to the administrator as long as the total number of unique clients and
servers does not exceed the number of clients licensed to the network administrator. Note that the administrator
itself also includes a client license, so it may be configured as a client and/or server without using one of your
additional client/server licenses.

Adding a Client

Any client may be added to the administrator by simply adding its hostname. However, the number of clients
which may be added is dependent on the number of clients the administrator is licensed for. Also, any client
hostname may be added, but the client is only accessible to the administrator after the software has been
installed and configured onto the client system as well.

To add a client, select one of the following from the menu bar:

Configure

!Clients

• Click

the

Add Client

button at the bottom of the

Main Screen

when the

are

displayed to add or change a Linux, Solaris or AIX client.
