Introduction

Thank you for choosing NovaBACKUP® CMon by NovaStor

CMon (Central Monitoring Console) is an application that works along side your NovaBACKUP PC, Server, and Business Essentials backup software. The CMon can be utilized to monitor the associated backup jobs in your entire backup environment, all from a single pane of glass style website interface. CMon is accessible via web browser and can be viewed via Internet Explorer 9+, Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox as well as most smart phone web browsers.

NovaBACKUP® CMon is composed of 2 components.

1. The CMon (Central Monitoring Console) application enables the capability to monitor backup agents from any edition of NovaBACKUP® PC, Server, or Business Essentials, version 18.0 and above. Typically CMon is installed on a Windows Server machine which does not have NovaBACKUP backup software installed on it. CMon can run on the same server that NovaBACKUP backup client is installed but it may perform better on a separate server. Read the System Requirements section for more information.
2. Your installations of NovaBACKUP® PC, Server and Business Essentials, version 18.0 or higher, which are installed on your systems to backup critical data, such as SQL and Exchange databases, as well as virtual environments. This quick start guide will describe how to setup the CMon, along with how to connect one installation of NovaBACKUP® (referred to as an agent) to the CMon. Subsequent installations of NovaBACKUP® PC, Server and Business Essentials will require configuration to connect to the CMon in the same manner.
