Clientless Backup
Clientless backup enables you to back up files from any computer on your network to a share on the cloud storage gateway, without requiring installation of a software agent on the remote computer.
Note: Clientless backup is not supported on Virtual Gateways.
Computers from which you back up must support Windows File Sharing (CIFS). It is possible to configure a Mac to support clientless backup.
Note: Clientless backup uses Windows File Sharing (CIFS) to back up data from your computers.
To set up clientless backup, you need to configure the settings for clientless backup, such as the share on the gateway to which your computer(s) will back up, and how many times per day clientless backup will be performed.
Next, you need to select the network shares you want to back up with clientless backup. These could be any folders on any computer on your network that are available for Windows File Sharing.
Because Clientless Backup uses Windows File Sharing, make sure any computer you want to back up from has file sharing enabled. See
Enabling File Sharing on a PC.
