Setting up a proper connection between the Active Backup for Business agent and the server requires a few steps. Here are the steps you can follow:

1. Make sure that both the server and the client computer running the Active Backup for Business agent are connected to the same network.

2. Install and launch the Active Backup for Business server application on the server.

3. On the server application interface, navigate to the settings tab and enable the "Allow client computers to connect" option.

4. Configure the backup settings on the server application, including the backup destination and schedule.

5. On the client computer, install the Active Backup for Business agent.

6. Launch the agent application and add the server by specifying its IP address or server name in the "Server" field.

7. Authenticate the connection to the server by providing the username and password for a user account with sufficient privileges on the server.

8. Once the connection is established, the client computer should appear on the server application interface under the "Clients" tab.

9. Then the client computer can configure its backup settings, including selecting the backup source, schedule, and retention settings.

By following these steps, you should be able to establish a proper connection between the Active Backup for Business agent and the server. If you encounter any issues, feel free to ask for further assistance.
