Managing ExaGrid Backup Server

The ExaGrid Backup Server can be automatically discovered by eG Enterprise. Therefore, administrators can either auto-discover the ExaGrid Backup Server in their environment or manually add the server.

To manage the ExaGrid Backup Servers that are automatically discovered, follow the steps below:

  1. Login to the eG admin interface.
  2. If the component is yet to be discovered, then, run discovery (Infrastructure -> Components -> Discovery).
  3. To manage an already discovered component, follow the menu sequence: Infrastructure -> Components -> Manage/Unmanage/Delete.

  4. Figure 1 and Figure 2 clearly illustrate the process of managing an ExaGrid Backup Server.

  1. Follow the Components -> Add/Modify menu sequence in the Infrastructure tile of the Admin menu.
  2. Next, select ExaGrid Backup Server from the Component type drop-down and then click the Add New Component button.
