After installing the Laptop Backup software, backup operations are automatically performed based on the schedule set by the administrator. You can monitor the backup jobs on your laptop using the Metallic Edge Monitor tool that runs in the system tray. You can also view, control, and initiate backup operations. The Commvault Cloud Edge Monitor tool also includes a link to the Metallic console where you can perform a restore.
