Here you can monitor states of Acronis True Image Echo Enterprise Server tasks (backup,
restore, validating backup archives) on all networked computers:
Ready
– the remote computer is available for the next task
Prepare
- preparations are being made on a remote machine for the task execution
(analyzing partitions, preparing backup scripts, etc.)
Running
– a task is being executed on the remote computer
Paused
– the task is paused and waiting for user input on the remote computer
Offline
- the remote computer is not connected to the network or is switched off
Inaccessible
- the remote computer is not accessible due to lack of access rights,
firewall and security settings, etc.
Unmanaged
- the Acronis True Image Agent is not installed on the remote machine.
Waiting for status info
– the remote computer fails to send backup progress
information to the Group Server.
Use
Search
to find a computer in the list quickly.
To see details of the computer in brief (the computer role, operating system and IP
address), click the computer name. The details are displayed on the sidebar.
To see details of the group task being executed on a remote computer, mouse over the
computer name.
You can also search computers by their IP. To use this function you should proceed to
Tools->Options->Network->Computers Discovery
and specify the search
parameters in the “Search for computers whose IP match the mask” and/or in the “Search
for computers in the following domain” fields. If you do not remember the correct IP or
you want to expand the search results to several computers, you can use the IP masks.
To define the range of necessary digits, for example, 192.168.1.12 - 192.168.1.19, the IP
mask has to include patterns as in 192.168.1.[12-19]. If you use several masks, for
example for the 192.168.2.12 - 192.168.5.25 range, you have to separate them with the
vertical line as in 192.168.2.[12-255]|192.168.[3-4].*|192.168.5.[0-25].
In this window you can also:
1.
Filter out
from the list offline, inaccessible or unmanaged computers or filter out
online computers to see those that cannot be managed (use buttons in the
Filter
group).
2.
Import computers
into the group server in case they are not discovered
automatically due to network behavior. It makes sense to install Acronis components on
these computers first so that you will be able to create tasks for these computers.
To add a single computer:
click
Add
on the toolbar
type in the computer name or IP address.
To add computers from Active directory:
click
Add
on the toolbar
type in the exact domain names
or otherwise type in the name of the domain controller and when the active directory is
expanded, tick off the desired computers or the entire directory.
