How to connect the Workstation that you want to backup to the Business Server?

After you installed the Business Server you need to install the Titan Backup Business Workstation application on all the computers in the network, and set them to connect to the IP or domain name on which you installed the Titan Backup Business Server. Make sure you also set the correct port.

A. Set the Titan Backup Workstation connection settings

The connection details can be set in 2 ways.

A.1. You can install the workstation program and manually go to Options / Business Server and set the connection details, then select the Connect and receive commands checkbox


or

A.2. You can use a default configuration saved in an XML file. To automate this workstations installation process you can generate a setup.xml file from the Business Server, from TOOLS/GENERATE SETUP FILE. Just export this XML, and place it in the same folder with setup.exe ( the setup of the workstation application ). The setup program will automatically take the configuration details from this XML file and you will not have to set them manually for all the workstations.

You can manually edit the XML file if neccesary, to a different external IP or port.

<enterprise>
  <domain>127.0.0.1</domain>
  <port>8080</port>
  <path>/</path>
</enterprise>

B. Approve the registration of the new computers in the Business Server

For security reasons each workstation registration in the server must be approved. The first time a workstation tries to connect it will be put into a pending registration status. You must review and approve their registration before sending commands to them.

To approve a workstation registration go to COMPUTERS section, select the Pending computers and click "Approve".

Alternatively you can select the Auto-Approve New Computers option in OPTIONS/GENERAL SETTINGS before registering new computers.
