Connecting to the NetVault WebUI/console (4037568)

From NetVault Backup 10, NetVault Backup offers a web-based user interface, called the NetVault WebUI, to configure, manage, and monitor your NetVault Backup system. You can use the NetVault WebUI to perform various tasks such as the following:

• Configure performance, security, and other options
• Manage clients, storage devices, and storage media
• Perform backups and restores
• Monitor jobs, device activities, and logs
• Set up notifications
• Generate and view reports

You can access the NetVault WebUI from any standard browser. The NetVault WebUI is automatically installed on the NetVault Backup Server. You can use the WebUI to remotely administer a NetVault Backup Server from any system on which you can run a supported web browser and connect to the server (over HTTP or HTTPS).
