The DS-Client is responsible for defining the backups that determine what data is to be backed up from the source computers and for sending the backed up data to the DS-System for storage.

During the backup process, the DS-Client extracts, compresses, and encrypts the data. Only new or modified data is backed up, which accelerates the backup transmission time. Backup data is sent to a secure off-site data center that hosts the DS-System vault. Restore is performed on demand via the same DS-Client.

Ease of use comes from the agentless architecture, which allows you to install a DS-Client on only one LAN computer. As long as the DS-Client is on the same network as the source computers, you can back up and restore data as required.
