Introduction to Devices

A device is a computer or server on which the Delta Cloud Backup Agent is installed and connected to your backup account. Each device is registered using the credentials provided on the Overview page and can be configured with its own backup sources, schedules, and retention policies.

In the devices list, you can see information about each device: its name, current online/offline status, operating system and agent version, timezone, IP address, last connection time, and registration date. This information helps you monitor the state of your backup infrastructure at a glance.
