Protecting A Machine
This topic describes how to start protecting the data on a machine that you specify.
NOTE: The machine must have the AppAssure Agent software installed in order to be protected.
You can choose to install the Agent software prior to this procedure, or you can deploy the
software to the agent as you define protection in the Connection dialog box. To install the agent
software during the process of protecting a machine, see
Deploying The Agent Software When
Protecting An Agent.
When you add protection, you must specify the name or IP address of the machine to protect and the
volumes on that machine to protect as well as define the protection schedule for each volume.
To protect multiple machines at the same time, see Protecting Multiple Machines.
To protect a machine:
1. Reboot the machine on which the AppAssure Agent software is installed, if you haven’t already done
so.
2. From the Core Console on the core machine, click Protect → Protect Machine on the button bar.
The Protect Machine Wizard appears.
3. On the Welcome page, select the appropriate installation options:
• If you do not need to define a repository or establish encryption, select Typical.
• If you do not wish to see the Welcome page for the Protect Machine Wizard in the future, select
the Skip this Welcome page the next time the wizard opens option.
4. Click Next.
5. On the Connection page, enter the information about the machine to which you want to connect as
described in the following table.
Text Box Description
Host The host name or IP address of the machine that you want to protect.
Port The port number on which the AppAssure Core communicates with the agent
on the machine. The default port number is 8006.
Username The user name used to connect to this machine; for example, administrator.
Password The password used to connect to this machine.
6. Click Next. If the Protection page appears next in the Protect Machine Wizard, skip to Step 7.
NOTE: If the Install Agent page appears next in the Protect Machine Wizard, this indicates that
the Agent software is not yet on installed on the designated machine. Click Next to install the
Agent software. The Agent software must be installed on the machine you want to protect, and
that be restarted, before it can back up to the Core. To have the installer reboot the agent
machine, select the After installation, restart the machine automatically (recommended)
option before clicking Next.
