For a replication target or a management system to remotely manage a local backup system, the backup system has to explicitly grant privilege to the manager. This is done to secure a two-way handshake between the manager and the managed system.
After granting remote management privilege to a system, you can administer nearly all actions on the managed system through a single pane of glass. There are a few exceptions. Log on locally to a system to perform the following functions:
• Manage and create customers, locations, and users.
• Change the local system password.
Certain other operations are restricted if the remote system is not the same version as the manager. It is a best practice to always have all Unitrends systems on the latest version.
