Destination Share

Select the local appliance network share with which the files and folders from the CTERA Agent-enabled computer should be backed up.

Subdirectories will automatically be created under this network share for each backed up folder.

Use SSL Connection

Specify whether to use Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption for connections from the CTERA Agent to the appliance:

• Enabled. The CTERA Agent will use SSL.
• Disabled. The CTERA Agent will not use SSL.
• Automatic. The CTERA Agent will not use SSL when in the same LAN as the appliance, and will use SSL when they are not in the same LAN as the appliance.

The default value is Automatic.

Allow user to configure the agent

Select this option to allow CTERA Agent users to configure their own agent.

In order for CTERA Agent users to manage their own agents, this option must be selected, and the CTERA Agent users must have the "Back up files and directories" privilege on Windows, or be members of the "ctera" user group on Linux or Mac OS-X. For further information, refer to the CTERA Agent User Guide.

Note: When this option is cleared, selecting files for local backup can only be done by an administrator in the appliance Web interface. The CTERA Agent user cannot select files for backup locally, nor can they configure agent settings via the appliance Web interface. However, the user can still initiate backup and restore operations.
