Our Enterprise Server Edition (ESE) Agent helps you to easily manage backups, restores, and Archiving. This guide shows you how to use ESE’s various functions.
If you haven't installed your ESE Agent yet, see Article 104 for help.

Full System Backup toggle switch
Use this switch to enable Full System Backup (FSB). This means that all data and metadata on the system will be backed up, including the system state and system information from the time of the backup, such as the OS, any installed software, installed updates, and hot fixes. Full System Backup makes Full System Recovery (FSR) possible, significantly simplifying disaster recovery. To leverage FSR, be sure to enable InstantData in the Storage Platform Console.
Note:
- For local drives, you can override FSB's default inclusions if needed. However, component-level system state exclusions are not allowed (see FAQ 1085).
- Run a backup as soon as possible to ensure FSB is not restricted by your antivirus setup. For more on antivirus exclusions, see FAQ 008.
View buttons
The View options in ESE simplify the management of backup integrations with SQL, Exchange, Hyper-V, etc. which were handled via plugins in SE.
