Machines, backup plans, and recovery tasks
The Machines, Backup plans, and Recovery tasks sections show summarized statistics of registered
machines, backup plans, and recovery tasks. Click the items in these sections to obtain the relevant
information. This will take you to the appropriate view with pre-filtered machines, backup plans, or
recovery tasks respectively. For instance, if you click Need interaction under Recovery tasks, the
Backup plans and tasks view will be opened with the recovery tasks filtered by the Need interaction
state.
Information presented in the Machines, Backup plans, and Recovery tasks sections is refreshed
every time the management server synchronizes with the machines. Information in other sections is
refreshed every 10 minutes and every time you access the Dashboard.
Applications
The Applications section displays the number of protected and unprotected applications running on
the registered machines.
An application on a machine is considered protected if the respective agent is installed on that
machine in the trial mode or with a license key. If an agent is installed for cloud backup only, the
application is not considered protected.
The following applications can be protected:
 Microsoft Active Directory
 Microsoft Exchange Server
 Microsoft SQL Server (multiple SQL Server instances are counted as one application)
To see a list of machines with unprotected applications, click Unprotected applications.
Vaults
The Vaults section displays information about vaults space usage. In some cases information about
free space in a vault might be not available; for example, if the vault is located on a tape library. If the
vault itself is not available (offline), the "Vault is not available" message will be displayed.
The "No centralized vaults were created" message is displayed, if there are no vaults. To create a
new vault, select the Create now link and move to the Create vault page.
15.4.2 Machines with agents
Acronis Backup lets you protect data and perform management operations on multiple machines.
Add a machine (p. 366) to the management server using the machine's name or IP address, import
machines from Active Directory, or from text files. Once a machine is registered on the management
server, it becomes available for centralized backup (p. 352), for grouping and for monitoring the
activities related to data protection.
To estimate whether the data is successfully protected on a managed machine, check its status. A
machine's status is defined as the most severe status of all backup plans (p. 323) (both local and
centralized) existing on the machine. It can be "OK", "Warning" or "Error".
