Administration

From Gbackup v2.3, clients can automatically download updates from the backup server and upgrade themselves. The updates have to be first uploaded into the backup server and the uploaded files have to be selected from the backup server web console.

If Gbackup is running as a Service in Windows XP/2003/Vista OS machines, mapped drives may not be recognized by Gbackup and therefore that may not be listed.

Gbackup can be configured to backup the SharePoint site-collections available in the local machine. Gbackup uses the internal backup utility (STSADM.EXE) to list the SharePoint site-collections present under a portal site and back them up.

The Email Filtering feature allows you specify specific conditions for which reports need to be emailed for the modules selected in "Email Configuration".

With this feature you can check the connectivity from the client to the Backup Server. It also checks the various settings in the backup server to identify if the client can backup to the backup server.

In this page, you can add the details of the other machines (peers) that are running Gbackup. Once added, you can use the 'Switch Peer' feature (available at the top right hand corner of the web console pages) to access the web console of the added peers from this web console.

The backup server may be configured to accept only registered clients. Therefore, before you run the backup from this Gbackup client machine to the backup server, you need to first register it with the backup server.
