4.7 Connecting to a Remote Database Server
In order to perform any operation on a remote database server, you must first connect
to it. Once connected, you can manage tasks: set up backup/restore options on remote
database servers and schedule backup, restore and backup location clean-up tasks.
To establish a remote connection, select a server in the Computers pane and click
Connect to a Remote Computer in the right pane. If you have connected to this
server before, Acronis Recovery for MS SQL Server will use credentials for accessing
the computer automatically. Otherwise a dialog window will be opened:
• In the Computer field, enter the name or the IP address of the computer
or select a computer from the drop-down list, by clicking the Browse...
button
• To provide credentials for accessing the computer, click the Options>>
button
• Specify username and password on the server you want to connect to, in
the corresponding fields
• Select the Save Password check box if you want to save the password.
Having provided all the necessary information for connection, click Connect to
establish connection.
If Acronis Recovery for MS SQL Server Management Console cannot connect
to the remote computer, which was not rebooted after installing Acronis
Recovery for MS SQL Server Agent, connection may be established with
explicit credentials.
As soon as you connect to a database server, you can manage tasks as if it were a
local computer.
