Agents
If the target system, from which data is to be backed up, is running with an operating system supported by octoplant, you should install the agent directly on that system.
If the target system, from which data is to be backed up, is running with an operating system that is not supported by octoplant (such as Windows NT), the agent cannot be installed directly on that system. In this case, the agent must be installed on a separate computer, which acts as an intermediary between the server and the target system.
You need only an upload agent, a compare agent is not necessary.
