Protect machine after
install
If this option is selected, once you add a machine for protection,
AppAssure 5 automatically begins the process of taking a base
snapshot of data.
If you clear this option, then you will need to force a snapshot
manually when you are ready to start protecting your data. For more
information, see “Forcing a Snapshot” on page 141.
Repository Select the repository on the AppAssure 5 Core in which to store the
data from this machine.
NOTE: You can store the data from multiple agents in a single
repository. This allows you to deduplicate among multiple
protected machines.
Encryption key Specify whether encryption should be applied to the data for every
volume on this machine to be stored in the repository.
NOTE: The encryption settings for a repository are defined under
the Configuration tab in the AppAssure 5 Core Console.
