Managing Virtual Portal Device Configuration Templates
CTERA Portal enables you to centrally manage device settings, by assigning devices to device configuration templates: When a device is assigned to a template, it inherits the following settings from that template:
Backup sets and exclude sets
Backup applications (relevant for CTERA Server Agents only)
Backup schedule
Backup throughput control
Scripts that run on CTERA Agents (relevant for CTERA Agent devices only)
Installed software and firmware versions
Automatic firmware updates
Note: Some of these settings can be overridden by an agent end user.
In this section
Devices can be assigned to templates in the following ways:
Automatic template assignment.
Devices can be assigned to templates based on the automatic template assignment policy, which specifies a set of criteria for assigning a template such as device type and operating system, as well as an optional default template that is assigned when none of the criteria are met.
Manually, by editing the device settings.
