Step 2: Client Download and Installation

To ensure maximum security and optimal performance, you should create a unique user for each device you onboard. We provide bulk automation scripts that allow you to automatically create users, install agents, register devices, and configure backup jobs for thousands of devices at once, often in just minutes. For more information, see the hyperlinked article above, or contact us at [email protected]

After adding a user for each device you wish to onboard, you can download and install the Zmanda Pro client. Zmanda Pro can back up Windows, macOS, and Linux devices. Click here for our OS compatibility matrix.

Manually Download and Install the Client Software:

1. Navigate to the Download Client Software section of the Zmanda Pro console.

1. For Windows devices:

• Select Any CPU under the Windows category to download a zip file containing the Zmanda Pro binaries.

• Once downloaded, locate the file on your desktop, right-click, and select Extract All.

• Install the client by double-clicking on the .exe file and following the prompts in the installation wizard.

1. For macOS, Linux, and Synology Devices:

• Navigate to the appropriate section for your operating system, download the required files, and follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation.

Install Clients in Bulk (for Windows, Linux, & macOS)

Zmanda Pro agents can be deployed in bulk by pushing installation scripts via your tool of choice, including:

• Mobile Device Management (MDM) Software

• Remote Monitoring and Management (RMM) Software

• Windows Group Policy Objects

• Etc.

This allows for silent and remote installation. After installing the agents, you can remotely log into the agents from the Zmanda Admin portal.
