To do this, set a display name for your destination, and either choose the backup container you want to use or create a new one.<\/p>\n<p>After you are done, press \u201cNext\u201d.<\/p>\n<h3>Assign to Users \/ Companies<\/h3>\n<p>In the next step, you specify which companies or users you want to use this storage account for.<\/p>\n<p>In MSP360 Managed Backup, you should create a user that will later be associated with the computer you want to back up. You can also create companies and assign several users to them. If you haven\u2019t created a user or a company before, you will be prompted to create the first company, and you will see your first default user in the \u201cUsers\u201d tab - under the email address with which you signed up.<\/p>\n<p>We do not recommend assigning your storage account to this user for production purposes. Instead, click \u201cNext\u201d. Later, you will be able to manage your users and companies properly.<\/p>\n<h3>Review<\/h3>\n<p>In the last step, you can review the settings of your new account and, if necessary, go back to edit anything.<\/p>\n<p>After you press \u201cSave\u201d, you will be able to see your new account in the list of all connected accounts.<\/p>\n<h2>Creating a User<\/h2>\n<p>Now you need to create a user to assign your storage to. To do that, go to the \u201cUsers\u201d tab and click \u201cCreate user\u201d. If you want to learn more about creating users and companies, check out our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.msp360.com\/resources\/blog\/endpoints-users-and-companies-in-msp360-managed-backup-service\/\">\u201cEndpoints, Users, and Companies with MSP360 Managed Backup Service\u201d video<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>Deploying the Agent<\/h2>\n<p>After you have created a user, go to the \u201cDownloads\u201d tab, and select the build you will install to the target machine. After you have installed the software on the computer, you will be able to assign it to the user. To do that, go to the \u201cRMM\u201d tab, and then the \u201cRMM\u201d section. There you will see the name of the endpoint you have just deployed the software to. Click \u201cAdd User Account\u201d to assign it to a user.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s it.
