Notes
Notes:
  1. Ensure that you replace "Enter Backup Server IP Address/DNS Name" with the actual IP address or DNS name of the backup server.
  2. For Windows installations, consider including "REBOOT=Force" for automated restart after agent installation.
  3. Utilize these commands with your preferred third-party deployment tools to simultaneously install the BDRSuite Backup Agent on multiple hosts.
You can use any RMM software or third-party tool to execute these commands for bulk deployment across multiple hosts. For additional configuration details, refer to this KB article or consult the BDRSuite Support Team.
