How to install the Backup Manager on multiple Windows computers in your local network

Our solution gives you an opportunity to install the Backup Manager on one or more Windows machines in your local network. Thus individual users won’t need to download an installer themselves and go through a standard installation and user identification process.

You need a Windows computer connected to a network to start taking advantage of the feature. Here are steps to follow:

1. Install the Cloud Management Console and Backup Manager (if you haven’t done it yet).
2. Launch the Backup Manager and copy your device name from it. It will be your main, or parent, device:

In addition, you will be able to set up a private       encryption key to ensure that no one else will be able to access your data.
