Backup agent
About Backup Agent
Backup Agent runs backup sessions that have been created from Backup/Restore. This allows you to create backups of your entire system.
In order to use Backup Agent, you must first create a backup session. For more information, refer to About backup and restore.
Before a backup session can run, you must start the Backup Agent on each server you want to back up.
