Actions

• Install - Installs the System Backup and Recovery client on selected machines.
  • Force the Installation - Installation requires a reboot to complete, which may interrupt the user. If checked, the installation occurs even if the user is logged on.
    • Nag reboot - The user is nagged to permit the reboot of the machine.
    • Automatic forced reboot - Reboots the machine without asking the user's permission.
    • Manual Reboot Later - Leaves it up to the VSA user or end user to manually reboot the machine later.
  • Recurrence
    • Once - Installs the System Backup and Recovery client once.
    • Run At / On - Specifies the date/time of the install.
    • Distribution Window - Reschedules the task to a randomly selected time no later than the number of periods specified, to spread network traffic and server loading. For example, if the scheduled time for a task is 3:00 AM, and the distribution window is 1 hour, then the task schedule will be changed to run at a random time between 3:00 AM and 4:00 AM.
• Manage - If ShadowProtect™ is already installed on the machine, click Manage to integrate ShadowProtect™ with a System Backup and Recovery client. From then on the machine can be managed from the System Backup and Recovery module.
• Uninstall - Removes the System Backup and Recovery client on selected machines.
• Reclaim - Reclaims any licenses that remain classified as "used" after one or more agent accounts have been deleted without first uninstalling the System Backup and Recovery client. Selecting an agent row does not apply to this button.
