GuardianOS contains built-in support for Snap EDR (trial mode) to synchronize and back up
to and from other SnapServers. GuardianOS also supports several third-party backup agents.
For information on using these backup methods to help protect your data, see Backup
Solutions.
Web Management Interface
SnapServer appliances use a web-based graphical user interface (GUI), called the Web
Management Interface, to administer and monitor the server. It supports most common web
browsers. JavaScript must be enabled in the browser for it to work.
