About the Symantec System Recovery Agent
The Symantec System Recovery Agent is the unseen “engine” that does the actual
backing up and restoring of data on a remote computer. Because the Symantec
System Recovery Agent functions as a service, it does not have a graphical user
interface.
See “Using the Symantec System Recovery Agent” on page 136.
The Symantec System Recovery Agent does, however, have a tray icon.available
from the Windows system tray. The icon provides feedback of current conditions
and lets you perform common tasks. For example, you can view backup jobs,
reconnect the Symantec System Recovery Agent, or cancel a task that is currently
running.
