Protecting Workstations And Servers

About Protecting Workstations And Servers

To protect your data using AppAssure 5, you need to add the workstations and servers for protection in the AppAssure 5
Core Console. For example, your Exchange server, SQL Server, your Linux server, and so on.
NOTE: In this chapter, generally the word machine also refers to the AppAssure Agent software installed on that
machine.
In the AppAssure 5 Core Console, you can identify the machine on which an AppAssure agent is installed and specify
which volumes to protect, define schedules for protection, add additional security measures such as encryption, and
more. For more information on how to access the AppAssure 5 Core Console to protect workstations and servers, see
Protecting A Machine.

Configuring Machine Settings

After you add protection for machines in AppAssure, you can easily modify basic machine configuration settings (name,
host name, and so on), protection settings (changing the protection schedule for volumes on the machine, adding or
removing volumes, or pausing protection), and more.
