Push agents greatly increase the speed of remote backup jobs. Loaded onto the remote NetWare servers that are to be backed up, these agents enable a connection to the backup server through TCP/IP, SPX-2, or SPX, and source data from these servers is pushed across the wire to the backup server. This eliminates the load-intensive two-way traffic formerly associated with backup jobs while reducing the time necessary to secure your data.
