- In the Settings menu, select Branding.
- Click Base Branding.
The following fields are available for editing:
- Vendor Name. The MSP provider name
- Product Name. The name used for Backup Agent (for example, MyCompany Backup Service).
- Once you are done with editing, click Save.
The Backup Agent layout on users' computers will be updated automatically.

- Open the Management Console.
- In the Settings menu, select Branding.
- Click Advanced Rebranding.
- Make the required changes to the Advanced Rebranding settings.

When you apply the branding settings for a Backup Agent for Linux and macOS, note that the settings are applied differently than for Backup Agent for Windows: once you edited branding settings, you need to reinstall the rebranded Backup Agent from scratch
