10.6 Adjusting machine options
The machine options define the general behavior of all Acronis Backup agents operating on the
managed machine, and so the options are considered machine-specific.
To access the machine options, connect the console to the managed machine and then select
Options > Machine options from the top menu.
10.6.1 Alerts
10.6.1.1 Alert management
Remove from "Accepted alerts" items older than
This option defines whether to delete the accepted alerts from the Accepted alerts table.
The preset is: Disabled.
When enabled, you can specify the keeping period for the accepted alerts. The accepted alerts older
than this period will be deleted from the table automatically.
Automatically move inactive alerts to "Accepted alerts"
This option defines whether to accept all the alerts that become inactive and move them to the
Accepted alerts table automatically.
The preset is: Disabled.
When enabled, you can specify the alert types to apply this option to.
10.6.1.2 Time-based alerts
Last backup
The option defines whether to alert if no backup was performed on a given machine for a period of
time. You can configure the time period that is considered critical for your business.
The preset is: alert if the last successful backup on a machine was completed more than 5 days ago.
The alert is displayed in the Alerts view of the Navigation pane.
10.6.2 E-mail settings
The option enables you to configure e-mail settings to send notifications about alerts which occurred
on the managed machine.
The notification schedule and the types of alerts to send are configured in Machine options > E-mail
settings > Alert notifications (p. 174).
The preset is: Disabled.
Note: Alerts warn only about problems. Therefore, e-mail notifications about successful backup or recovery
operations will not be sent. These e-mail notifications are configured in Backup options > Notifications > E-mail
(p. 83) and in Recovery options > Notifications > E-mail (p. 112) respectively.
