Add servers to Backup Manager

After you have copied the Backup Manager public key to the Backup Agent, you can add this server to your Backup Manager. For more information about copying the Backup Manager public key to the Backup Agent, see [Add the key to Windows Backup Agent], and [Add key to Linux Backup Agent].

You can choose one of two available methods of adding a server to the Backup Manager:

* *Host Name/IP* \- Enter the host name or IP address of the server.
* *Port Number* \- Define a Port to connect to the server if different from the default value of 1167. You can configure the default server port using the Windows Backup Manager Configuration Utility. See also: [Configure Backup Agent port]
