How can I deploy Axcient x360Recover agent in Nerdio Manager?

Deploy Axcient x360Recover agent on AVD session hosts and Azure servers to enable direct-to-cloud backup and disaster recovery of your virtual environments. The agent continuously backs up the VM data and your environment state to Axcient’s secure cloud, allowing for fast recovery in case of data loss, corruption, or VM failure.

Deploying the agent in Nerdio Manager ensures consistent protection across host pools and simplifies management by using automation and centralized deployment logic.

To deploy Axcient x360Recover agent, complete the following steps:

• Step 1: Add an inherited variable

• Step 2: Assign the script to accounts

• Step 3: Override the x360RecoverTokenID variable value at the account level

• Step 4: Configure running the script on the host pool

Step 1: Add an inherited variable

To override the variable value:

1. At the MSP level, navigate to Accounts.

2. Select the account where you wish to override the x360RecoverTokenID variable value.
