Display devices running Backup & Recovery in N-sight RMM

To offer an enhanced solution, standalone Cove Data Protection (Cove) replaced Backup and Recovery. Where Backup and Recovery has been enabled and continues to be so for devices, the options presented here are still available.

If Backup and Recovery options are not present in your N-sight RMM, you need to use Cove.

To start a 30-day free trial of Cove, click the app switcher in the Product Bar, and select Cove Data Protection (Cove).

Information on the current Backup & Recovery installation status for all devices is available in the All Devices view.

Multiple Devices

The All Devices view North-pane indicates the current Backup & Recovery installation state against each device. This information is also available from the Device Inventory Report available from the Reports menu.
