1: Download, Install, and Register the Agent

Start by visiting download.datto.com to download the agent software on the target machine.

2: Reporting, Alerting, and Settings

Endpoint Backup for Servers allows you to easily identify which systems are protected, when they last backed up, and how the last backup went. This includes Screenshot Verification that shows a screenshot of the login screen after trial boot of the backup image in the cloud.

3: Restore Files

Endpoint Backup for Servers allows you to mount the image in the cloud so you can download and restore files and folders.

4: Instant Cloud Virtualization

Protected Servers can be virtualized for further testing and verification in the cloud. The process is quick and easy. It allows you to spin up a system in the cloud, create networks, and connect to the system to use in a DR scenario.

5: Virtual Disk Export

After virtualizing a server, systems that live in a virtual environment have the option to return by exporting out the virtual disk from the cloud and then importing it back into the primary environment.

6: Bare Metal Restore

Endpoint Backup for Servers allows you restore an entire system to similar and dissimilar hardware alike.

7: System Deletion

Once a system no longer needs to be protected, it may be removed from the portal. In doing so, the backup data will also be removed.

8: Accidental Deletion of an Agent from the Portal

Endpoint Backup for Servers offers Cloud Deletion Defense, which allows for the recovery of systems deleted out of the portal from the immutable cloud.

NOTE  This video speaks to this in general terms and talks about a local device. The functionality is the same for all assets protected in the BCDR status page in the portal. Even without a local device the deleted system can be recovered back to the cloud upon accidental deletion.
