Worker installation

Overview

Worker can manage storage, perform and restore backups; it can be combined with a dedicated Microsoft 365, GitProtect, or Jira license, but it cannot back up its own device.

Under the licensing policy, a worker license is a free license type assigned per agent—feature worker. The only difference between a server/endpoint agent and a feature worker license is, as mentioned above, that a feature worker cannot back up its own data. It serves only as a worker while securing other data.

Installing a worker in your local environment can be crucial and essential in many scenarios. The backup agent is the only component that directly handles data during its transfer to storage.

Using a local worker helps comply with internal policies by keeping data internal and secure. It also allows direct backups to your local infrastructure, which the SaaS agent (cloud worker) does not have access to.
