Once the machines appear in the group, the centralized backup plans created for the group (if any)
are deployed to the machines. If any of the selected machines is not available or reachable at the
moment, the action will be kept in the management server as pending and will be performed as soon
as the machine becomes available to the server.
Machine details
Four tabs accumulate all information on the selected machine and let the management server
administrator perform operations with the backup plans and tasks on the machine.
Machine
The tab displays the following information on the registered machine:
 Name - name of the selected machine (taken from the Computer name in Windows).
 Registration address - computer name or IP address of the selected machine. During the
registration of a machine (p. 444) the management server administrator can assign either a name
or IP address to identify the machine on the management server.
 IP address - IP address of the selected machine.
 Drive health status - the state of the machine's drives health. This field is set to Not available if
the Acronis Drive Monitor utility is not installed on the machine. Acronis Drive Monitor
automatically checks for disk problems and predicts when a hard drive is about to fail. The utility
is free of charge for download at http://www.acronis.eu.
 Status - the machine protection status. This is the result of the latest backup of the machine's
data. Results of other operations, such as validation, cleanup, or replication, do not affect the
status. Possible status values are OK, Warning, and Error.
 Last connection - how much time has passed since the management server last connected to the
machine.
 Last successful backup - how much time has passed since the last successful backup.
 Next backup - how much time is left before the next backup.
 Availability:
 Online - the machine is available for the management server. This means that the
management server's last connection to the machine was successful. Connection is
established every 2 minutes.
 Offline - the machine is unavailable for the management server: it is turned off, or its
network cable is unplugged.
 Unknown - this state is displayed until the first connection between the management server
and the machine is established after adding the machine or starting the management
server's service.
 Withdrawn - the machine was registered on another management server, or the
Stand-alone management parameter was selected on the machine in Options > Machine
options > Machine management (p. 340). As a result, it is not possible to control the
machine from the current management server. To regain control over the machine, remove
it from the current management server and then add the machine again.
 Expired - the trial period of the machine's agent has expired. To specify a license key for the
agent, right-click the machine, and then click Change license (p. 333).
 Installed agents - full name of Acronis agents, installed on the machine.
 Operating system - the operating system the machine's agent runs.
