- Downloading the SiteBackup Agent Installers
Overview
The Macrium SiteBackup Agent can be fully installed and configured using the command line. This enables integration with third-party software installation and endpoint management software, as well as custom scripting to install agents.
Downloading the SiteBackup Agent Installers
The MSI installers can be downloaded from the 'Computers' page of SiteBackup. On the 'Computers' page, select 'More Actions' then 'Manual Agent installation':

Alternatively, the agent MSI installers can be found on the SiteManager Platform server in the folder:
C:\Program Files\Macrium\SiteManager\AgentFiles.
