Note : After successful installation of a remote agent, reboot is not necessary unless the Advanced Open File Option (AOFO) is selected for installation during the install of the Remote Agent (but still recommended which user can schedule at later time). Even without rebooting the server Backup and Restore Operations can still be performed without AOFO.
