Management
- Web-Based Management Console Enhancements:
A New Web-based Management Console was introduced in 15.6 to supplement the existing Cloud Manage Console. This new Web Console is targeted specifically at the needs of Resellers and MSPs remotely managing end customer devices. The Web Console continues to evolve providing partners with browser based access to add, delete, configure, monitor and manage backups from virtually any web based device without the need for a local software installation.
The Web Console can be accessed securely at https://cmc.cloudbackup.management/ and uses your existing CMC Partner credentials.
Stay tuned, as additional phased updates to the Web Console will be made throughout the remainder of 2015 to expand performance, functionality and usability.
