Adding Client Agents
If you have CA ARCserve Backup installed on a Windows server, you can add
client agents from your network using the Add, Import, Export Node feature or
you can add client agents manually. The following sections include information
on each of these methods.
How to Add, Import, and Export Agents and Nodes
Setting up a job in an environment with many agents and nodes can be a
time-consuming and tedious task. If you have multiple agents and nodes to back
up, it may take time to add the agents and nodes to the Backup Manager one at
a time. The Add, Import, and Export Agents and Add, Import, and Export Nodes
features let you add multiple nodes and agents using the CA ARCserve Backup
user interface, whether the nodes and agents will be backed up.
Note:
The Central Agent Admin also lets you add, import, or export agents and
nodes.
