Downloads Panel
Backup Agents are delivered on a custom installation package basis. To get your own copy of the Backup Agent, generate the installation package, then download it. It is recommended to enable Sandbox, to test the installation package before it will be updated. Consider that you will be notified about custom installation package generation using Contact Email specified in Settings > General. To access the Downloads panel, the Management > Downloads permission should be granted as the administrator permission on Organization > Administrators.
Sandbox
Sandbox is the best practice to test the installation package before it is automatically updated because sandbox installation packages do not automatically update the agents. Sandbox installation packages can be used to update the agents manually and individually from the Management Console page. Once the installation package is tested, it can be marked as public. This will result in the automatic update (if enabled).
