Managing the Backup SQL Server

eG Enterprise can automatically discover the Backup SQL server in the environment. The discovered server can be managed using the following steps:

1. Login to the eG administrative interface as an administrator (admin).
2. Check whether the Backup SQL server has been auto-discovered. If not, run discovery using the discovery page (Infrastructure -> Components -> Discover) or manually add the Backup SQL server using the add/modify components page (Infrastructure -> Components -> Add/Modify). The eG Enterprise system automatically manages the manually added components.

3. The discovered components however, need to go through a manual management exercise, using the components - manage/unmanage page (Infrastructure -> Components -> Manage/Unmanage). This process is depicted by Figure 1 and Figure 2 below.

5. Finally, sign out of the eG administrative interface.
