Preparing to protect your servers
Overview
To protect your data using DL1300, you need to add the workstations and servers for protection in the Core
Console; for example, your Exchange server, SQL Server, your Linux server, and so on.
In the Core Console, you can identify the machine on which an Agent is installed and specify which volumes,
for example, a Microsoft Windows Storage Space, to protect. You can define the schedules for protection, add
additional security measures such as encryption, and much more. For more information on how to access the
Core Console to protect workstations and servers, see
Protecting Machines
.

2. In the Actions drop-down menu, click Protect Machine.
The Connect dialog box is displayed.
3. In the Connect dialog box, enter the information about the machine to which you want to connect as
described in the following table.
