Overview

The system section contains options for modifying the behavior of the overall SiteManager Platform. The options available are as follows:


Server Name

Option
Description
Server Name

Allows a custom server name to be set. This server name will be shown in the title/tab bar of the browser, at the top of the SiteManager Platform interface, and in email subject lines.

This allows organizations with multiple SiteManager Platform installs to easily tell them apart. The naming options are:

Do not display a name - this is the default setting.

Display the server Computer name - uses the NetBIOS name of the server.

Display a custom name - the name entered in the 'Custom Name' field will be used.


Support Information

This section allows the gathering of support information and uploading to Macrium servers or downloading as a zip file. It should only be used under the direction of Macrium Support.


Log Retention

This section allows backup logs and event logs to be automatically deleted after a number of days. This will only happen if the 'Keep Logs Forever' option is unselected. This option will affect both the backup logs and event logs. An agent computer's copy of the backup logs will also be permanently deleted.

Any permanent deletion action on the agent backup logs will occur either at midnight (local time) or on the SiteManager service restarting. This is to reduce accidental changes applying instantly.


Macrium Image Guardian 

This section provides convenient access to the Macrium Image Guardian installers. The installers can be used to install Macrium Image Guardian on Windows computers that host repositories or golden image stores separately from the SiteManager Platform server.
