Unitrends agents

Before you can protect a physical asset, you must install the Unitrends agent. (You can also opt to install the agent on virtual machines if you prefer to use file-level protection.) For most Windows assets, the appliance can push-install the agent when you add the asset. For other physical assets, you must install the Unitrends agent manually before you add the asset.

NOTE  A Unitrends agent is not used to protect iSeries assets, For details on iSeries, see iSeries Backups Overview and Procedures.
