Adding a client to the NetVault Server

To use a client in a backup or restore operation, you must first add the client to the NetVault Server. You can use the configuration wizard to add and configure a NetVault Client.

NOTE: A NetVault Server can only support clients of the same version as itself or older. The NetVault Client software version cannot be higher than the NetVault Server software version.

To back up the client machine added by MSP administrator, first add them to default client group.

To add a client to the NetVault Server:
1
In the Navigation pane, click Manage Clients, and then click Add Client.
 
* 
NOTE: The client list is not displayed for tenant administrator. Tenant administrator must use the Find Machine option to locate and add such clients.
2
If the client is password-protected, type the NetVault password for the client. You can also provide the root or administrator password for the client.
If a NetVault password is not set for the client, provide the root or administrator password for the client.
Click Next.
This page is not displayed if security is disabled on the client. For more information, see Configuring security settings.
3
Type a descriptive text for the client, and click Next.
4
If the client resides on a network that is outside the firewall, select the Client is Outside Firewall check box, and configure the firewall settings. For more information, see About firewall settings.
Click Next.

After the client is successfully added to the server, a message is displayed.
