- From the top menu, click on Customers \ Add Customer
- Select either Server or Desktop for the trial.
- Fill in the mandatory fields and select the modules required on the next page.
The pre-configured modules are those included in the basic license pricing.
Unticked modules are charged extra when an account is live, but you can use for free during the trial.

We set the maximum bandwidth available to the backup at 256Kbps, however, you can change this. This is so the backup doesn’t consume all of your upload bandwidth during the backup.
- Download and install our software from the link provided.
Logging into the backup client for the first time
- When opening the software for the first time, choose the Login option and use the credentials from step 3 above.
If you click on Trial, this will put your account into a hidden area of the Reseller portal and the account won’t be visible to you. Let us know if you do this by accident and we will move your account over.
