“Navigation” pane
The navigation pane includes the Navigation tree and the Shortcuts bar.
Navigation tree
The Navigation tree enables you to navigate across the program views. Views depend on whether the console is connected to a managed machine or to the management server.
Views for a managed machine
When the console is connected to a managed machine, the following views are available in the navigation tree.
 [Machine name]. Root of the tree also called a Welcome view. Displays the name of the machine the console is currently connected to. Use this view for quick access to the main operations, available on the managed machine.
 Dashboard. Use this view to estimate at a glance whether the data is successfully protected on the managed machine.
 Backup plans and tasks. Use this view to manage backup plans and tasks on the managed machine: run, edit, stop and delete plans and tasks, view their states and statuses, monitor plans.
 Vaults. Use this view to manage personal vaults and archives stored in there, add new vaults, rename and delete the existing ones, validate vaults, explore backup content, mount backups as virtual drives, etc.
 Log. Use this view to examine information on operations performed by the program on the managed machine.
 Disk management. Use this view to perform operations on the machine’s hard disk drives.
Views for a management server
When the console is connected to a management server, the following views are available in the navigation tree.
 [Management server name]. Root of the tree also called a Welcome view. Displays the name of the management server the console is currently connected to. Use this view for quick access to the main operations, available on the management server.
- Dashboard. Use this view to estimate at a glance whether the data is successfully protected on the machines registered on the management server.
- Backup policies. Use this view to manage backup policies existing on the management server.
 Physical machines. Use this view to manage machines registered on the management server.
- Virtual machines. Use this view to manage virtual machines from the registered physical machines and from the registered machines with the agent for ESX/ESXi.
- Vaults. Use this view to manage centralized vaults and archives stored in there: create new managed and unmanaged vaults, rename and delete the existing ones.
 Storage nodes. Use this view to manage storage nodes. Add a storage node to be able to create centralized vaults that will be managed by the node.
 Tasks. Use this view to manage tasks, run, edit, stop and delete tasks, monitor their states, examine task history.
- Log. Use this view to examine the history of centralized management operations, such as creating a managed entities group, applying a policy, managing a centralized vault; as well as the history of operations logged in the local logs of the registered machines and the storage nodes.
Shortcuts bar
The Shortcuts bar appears under the navigation tree. It offers you an easy and convenient way of connection to the machines in demand by adding them as shortcuts.
To add a shortcut to a machine
- Connect the console to a managed machine.
- In the navigation tree, right-click the machine’s name (a root element of the navigation tree), and then select Create shortcut.
If the console and agent are installed on the same machine, the shortcut to this machine will be added to the shortcuts bar automatically as Local machine [Machine name].
If the console has ever been connected to Acronis Management Server, the shortcut is added automatically as AMS [Machine name].
