Windows, macOS and Linux Installers
The Backup Manager is installed with the help of an installation wizard on Windows, macOS and Linux computers. After the installation, the tool opens as a web application.
Managed Installation vs. Self-Managed Installation vs Documents Installation
Three installation methods available are:
- Managed Installation – Previously known as Automatic Deployment or Quick Installation, this method lets you install Backup Manager on multiple devices simultaneously
This is a silent installation process
- Self-Managed Installation - Previously known as Manual or Legacy Installation, this method lets you install one device at a time with manual configuration
This installation process requires additional input on each device
- Documents Installation – this method lets you install Documents backup on multiple Windows and macOS workstations and laptops simultaneously for the protection of key office files only
This is a silent installation process
Please see the table below for the differences between these options.
