  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

  1. Connect the console to a managed machine.
  2. 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].
