* **Server-** enter the Storware Endpoint server address in your organization (with 8181 port)

After successful logging, the device is added to the devices list on the server. The backup process will start immediately and the first full backup will be performed.

## **Magic Link**

If an organization administrator has sent a deployment email, it contains a "magic link" shortcut with which a user (local or domain) can be authorized on the Storware Endpoint server. The user should click the "magic link" to be automatically logged in to the Storware Endpoint server.
