Customised Rollout of Indigo Backup to Your Users

You should first have read Setting Up Indigo Backup For Corporate Networks Tutorial as this tutorial builds on the architecture listed in that example.

This tutorial gives an example of how to build a customised rollout of Indigo Backup for your users. It will show you how to automate the installation of the software with customised setup options and using tailored network locking (NIC.INI files), so that you can ensure all your users connect to you Backup Grid and Indigo Grid administration software automatically.

Important ! Read Me First

Indigo Trinity Grid automates the construction of customised rollout installations of Indigo Backup. You should consider using Indigo Trinity Grid to construct these rollout installations as it is easy to use. Information on using Indigo Trinity Grid for automated rollout is contained within the Indigo Trinity Grid help file that comes with the software. As the process of creating rollouts with Indigo Trinity Grid is automated it falls outside the scope of this tutorial and you should refer to the help file.

However, if you are using Indigo Grid v.1.x instead you can still create custom rollouts but you must build these manually. Showing you how to build manual custom rollouts is the purpose of this section.

This tutorial assumes that you have already read the sections on Default.ini files and NIC.ini files that are contained in the help file that came with your copy of Indigo Backup.
