You will see a congratulatory message after the successful installation and registration of the agent. You can also find your server under the "All Devices" sub-menu.
Creating Protection Plan
The next step is creating a protection plan to back up your data. Navigate to the Protection plans located under the MANAGEMENT menu and click on the "Create plan" button.
You can configure your backup plan by choosing what to back up, selecting the backup type for each schedule and setting up the retention. You may enable the encryption for your archives or configure the advanced options.
Optionally, you can enable Antivirus & Antimalware protection, vulnerability assessment or Device control options as a part of your protection plan.
Finally, Click on the "Add devices" link at the top of the window to assign your protection plan to the machines you want to protect.
Click on the "Create" button to create the protection plan.
Working with Backups
