Preconfigured Resources

The software ships with several resources already configured so you can use Backup right away, without need for further configuration. As you become familiar with the software, you can customize the Backup resources to suit your storage management needs.

Clients Resource

The first client of the Backup server is the server itself; the Client resource for the server is automatically created for you when you install the software. The configurations that ship with Backup are already in place for the client setup for the server. Table 2-1 lists the preconfigured settings for the Client resource.
