Types of connection to a managed machine
There are two types of connection to a managed machine: local connection and remote connection.
Local connection
The local connection is established between Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Management Console on a machine and Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Agent on the same machine.
To establish a local connection
- On the toolbar, click Connect, then point to New connection, and then click This machine.
Remote connection
A remote connection is established between Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Management Console on one machine and Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Agent on another machine.
You might need to specify logon credentials to establish a remote connection.
To establish a remote connection
- On the toolbar, click Connect, then point to New connection, and then click Manage a remote machine.
- In Machine, type or select the name or IP address of the remote machine to which you want to connect; or click Browse to select the machine from the list.
- To specify credentials for connection, click Options and then type the user name and password in the User name and Password boxes respectively. In Windows, if you leave the User name box empty, the credentials under which the console is running will be used.
- To save the password for the specified user name, select the Save password check box; the password will be saved in a secure storage on the machine where the console is running.
