4.4.4 Acronis Group Server options

Acronis Group Server regularly polls computers included in its database for their status
(Ready, Offline and so on, according to

4.4.1 Group status display.

) The default interval

between enquires is 2 seconds. You have an option to set the status refresh rate based
on your network requirements.
There is usually no need to refresh the view at all when the console is disconnected from
the group server. A separate option allows you to disable the polling on console
disconnection or set a wider interval between packets.
There is also an option to stop scanning network for newly connected computers. This
can speed up operations with the computers already discovered. After the scanning is
disabled, Acronis Group Server stops sending the packets, but the response may come to
the packets already sent. Therefore, some computers may be added to the computer list
after scanning is disabled. This is not a malfunction.

To adjust the status refresh rate, connect the console to the computer where Acronis
Group Server is installed and select Tools -> Options -> Network -> Status check
interval
.
