Centralized management 

This section covers operations that can be performed centrally by using the components for 
centralized management. The content of this section is only applicable to advanced editions of 
Acronis Backup & Recovery 10.

Administering Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 

Management Server 

This section describes the views that are available through the navigation tree of the console 
connected to the management server, and explains how to work with each view. 

 

7.1.1

 

Dashboard 

Use the Dashboard to estimate at a glance the health of data protection on the registered machines. 
The Dashboard displays the summary of Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 agents' activities, lets you 
check for free space available in managed vaults, and rapidly identify and resolve any issues. 

Alerts 

The alerts section draws your attention to issues that have occurred on the management server and 
registered machines, in centralized vaults, and offers you ways of fixing or examining them. The most 
critical issues are displayed at the top. If there are no alerts or warnings at the moment, the system 
displays "No alerts or warnings". 

Types of alerts 

The table below illustrates the types of messages you may observe.

Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 agent connects to Acronis 
License Server at the start and then every 1–5 days, as 
specified by the agent configuration parameters. The alert 
is displayed if the license check was unsuccessful on at 
least one agent. This might happen if the license server 
was unavailable, or the license key data was corrupted. 
Click 

View log

 to find out the cause of the unsuccessful 

check.  

If the license check does not succeed for 1-60 days (as 
specified by the agent configuration parameters), the 
agent will stop working until a successful license check.
