Managing AnyFileBackup Tasks Locally and Remotely
Published on Oct 29, 2025
Starting with version 5.18, AnyFileBackup can be managed both locally and remotely over a network connection.
During installation, AnyFileBackup offers three configuration options:
- Server – users can manage AnyFileBackup both locally (on the same computer) and remotely (from a computer connected to the same local network, via Internet etc). The remote connection is established directly (that is between two AnyFileBackups).
- Local – users can manage AnyFileBackup only on the computer where AnyFileBackup is installed.
- Client – users can manage AnyFileBackup on remote computers that have AnyFileBackup installed and configured as a Server.
To enable remote management, ensure that a proper firewall rule is created on the computer where AnyFileBackup is installed. Refer to the AnyFileBackup Help documentation for detailed instructions.
