About adding clients

For most operating systems, an agent must be installed on the client whose data you want to protect. For most Windows and Hyper-V clients, core and bare metal agents are automatically installed when you add the client to the backup system. For VMware and iSeries, no agent is required. For other operating systems, you must install the core agent before adding the client to the backup system. For additional information about the client you are adding, see the chapter for the applicable OS. For example, Protecting Windows Environments, Protecting VMware Infrastructure, and Linux Protection chapters. 

Note: The automatic installation feature for Windows and Hyper-V clients is supported on Unitrends system release 7.0 and higher. This feature is not supported for Windows NT, 2000, 8.1 or Windows Server 2012 R2 clients. For detailed requirements, see Agent push install requirements.
