Creating Tasks for Linux Network Agents
After the Linux network agent has been installed and configured, task creation and management are performed through the centralized control panel installed on a Windows computer.
Network agents do not have their own user interface. They are managed through the centralized control panel, where you can connect to Linux workstations, select data, configure backup and recovery settings, and create and run tasks.
Instructions for creating backup and recovery tasks for Linux workstations are provided below.
