Here you can monitor states of Acronis True Image Workstation tasks (backup, restore,
validating backup archives) on all networked computers:
Ready – the remote computer is available for the next task
Prepare - preparations are being made on a remote machine for the task execution
(analyzing partitions, preparing backup scripts, etc.)
Running – a task is being executed on the remote computer
Paused – the task is paused and waiting for user input on the remote computer
Failed – the task could not be completed because of an error
Finished – the task has been completed successfully
Cancelled – the task has been cancelled on the remote computer
Offline - the remote computer is not connected to the network, or switched off
Inaccessible - the remote computer is not accessible due to lack of access rights, firewall
and security settings, etc.
Unmanaged - the Acronis True Image Agent is not installed on a remote machine.
To see details of the computer in brief (the computer role, operating system and IP-
address), click on the computer name. The details are displayed on the sidebar.
To see details of the group task being executed on a remote computer, mouse over the
computer.
In this window you can also:
1. Filter out from the list offline, inaccessible or unmanaged computers and vice versa, filter
out online computers to see those that cannot be managed (use buttons in the Filter
group).
2. Input and test credentials for access to each computer. To do so, click on the key icon,
enter username and password and click Test connection. The program will issue a
message displaying the test result. Key icons for successfully tested connections are colored
gold.
