About the Veritas System Recovery Agent
The Veritas System Recovery Agent is the unseen "engine" that does the actual backing up and restoring of data on a remote computer. Because the Veritas System Recovery Agent functions as a service, it does not have a graphical user interface.
The Veritas System Recovery Agent does, however, have a tray icon.available from the Windows notification area. The icon provides feedback of current conditions and lets you perform common tasks. For example, you can view backup jobs, reconnect the Veritas System Recovery Agent, or cancel a task that is currently running.
You can install the agent manually by visiting each computer you want to protect and installing the agent from the product DVD. A more efficient method, however, is to use the Veritas System Recovery Deploy Agent feature. You can remotely install the agent on a computer in the domain whose data you want to protect.
