This pane provides you with information about Devices that currently exist on the Server where the Backup Agent is installed. To view the list of Devices, click the "Get Devices from Server" button.
h4. Columns:
* *Mount Point -* In Unix-like systems, a *mount point* is the location in the operating system's directory structure where a mounted file system appears. For example, many modern Linux distributions automatically mount the CD drive as {{/media/cdrom}}, so the contents of the CD drive will appear in the {{/media/cdrom}} directory. The equivalent to mounting in Microsoft Windows is known as *mapping a drive*. Since Windows 2000, NTFS devices can also be mounted to empty NTFS folders.
* *Capacity* \- How many resources are available on the Device (gigabytes, megabytes, or kilobytes; blocks).
* *Content Type -* The file system created on the Device. Example: NTFS.
* *Actions* \- Provides access to actions available for the selected Device:
** *Add* \- See [Add devices].
** *Details* \- A more detailed description of device which includes: Identification, Disk Info, File System Properties.
