that the data may appear in the future. A backup plan is created as usual and the plan state is
changed to Deployed.
If no data to back up is found at the time when the backup task starts, the task will fail and the plan
status will turn to Error. If at least one of the data items is found, the backup task will succeed with a
warning. The plan status will change accordingly.
The backup tasks will start on schedule as specified by the plan and produce a similar result until all
data items appear on the machine or the plan is edited to exclude the non-existent data items.
Examples
Assume the selection rule states that the plan has to back up volumes D: and F:. The plan is deployed
to both Linux and Windows machines. Once the first backup is started, the plan gets the Error status
on the Linux machines and on the Windows machines that do not have such volumes. The plan gets
the Warning status on Windows machines that have either a D: or F: volume, unless an event that
will result in an error occurs.
The plan that has to back up the [SYSTEM] and the /dev/sda1 volumes will get the Warning status on
the Windows machines (since /dev/sda is not found) and on the Linux machines that have the
/dev/sda1 volume. This is because the [SYSTEM] volume is not found. The plan will get the Error
status on Linux machines that do not have a SCSI device.
15.4 Administering Acronis Backup 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.
15.4.1 Dashboard
Use the Dashboard view to estimate at a glance the health of data protection on the registered
machines. The dashboard displays the summary of Acronis Backup agents' activities, lets you check
for free space available in managed vaults, and rapidly identify and resolve any issues.
Recent alerts
The Recent alerts section draws your attention to issues that have occurred on the management
server, registered machines and in centralized vaults. It offers you ways of fixing or examining the
issues. By default, the section shows the five most recent alerts. Click the View all link to move to the
Alerts view and see all alerts. If no alerts or warnings have been fixed, the system displays "There are
no alerts".
Activity history
The stacked column chart in the Activity history section lets you explore the daily history of the
Acronis Backup agents' activities. The history is based on the log entries, collected from the
registered machines and from the management server. The chart shows the number of log entries of
each type (Succeeded, With warnings, Failed) for a particular day.
Statistics for the selected date are displayed to the right of the chart. All the statistics fields are
interactive; i.e. if you click any field, the Log view will be opened with the log entries pre-filtered by
this field.
At the top of the chart, you can select the activities to display depending on the presence and
severity of the errors. Click the View all link to display in the Log view all activities. They are sorted by
