Deploy Backup Agent on Windows from Backup Manager

You can use the "Deploy Agent" feature to install the Agent software via the Backup Manager interface. This feature is available in the following places:
* The "Add Server" wizard. Read more in [Add a server automatically].
* The "Servers" screen. Read more below.

The "Deploy Agent" feature remotely deploys the Agent to a Windows Server and authorizes the current Backup Manager. Unlike the "Add Server" wizard, it does not create Disk Safes, Policies, etc. for the Server. The "Deploy Agent" feature on the "Servers" screen is available in your Backup Manager if the following 2 (two) conditions are met:

# At least one Server has been added. See more in [Add servers to Backup Manager].
# The Server does not have the Agent already installed.

Follow the instructions below to deploy an Agent from your Backup Manager.

1. Click "Servers" in the Main Menu to access the "Servers" page. Server Backup Manager displays the "Servers" page with a list of all existing Servers.
