How t to find backup method (agent related methods)

Hi,  Suppose you open BE admin console and see there are multiple Backup jobs. How can one determine which backup method (including agentless, agent-based or agent-assisted) each job is set upon?

    There are only two circumstances where the BE remote agent is not used for a backup.

    1) For devices like NAS which are impossible to load the remote agent.

    2) For VM's which either GRT are not supported or not required.

    All other backups use the remote agent.
