To see details of the computer in brief (the computer role, operating system and IP-
address), click on the computer name. The details are displayed on the sidebar.
To see details of the group task being executed on a remote computer, mouse over the
computer name.
In this window you can also:
1. Filter out from the list offline, inaccessible or unmanaged computers and vice versa, filter
out online computers to see those that cannot be managed (use buttons in the Filter
group).
2. Input and test credentials for access to each computer. To do so, click on the key icon,
enter username and password and click Test connection. The program will issue a
message displaying the test result. Key icons for successfully tested connections are colored
gold.
3. Create a disk/partition backup task for several remote computers at once (see
4.4.2
Creating new group backup tasks ).
4. Connect to a remote computer to see the operation log, start or edit tasks for this
computer etc. (see
4.3 Managing a single remote computer ). To do so, select a computer
and click Connect.
5. Invoke Group tasks management window for viewing, deleting or rescheduling group
tasks.
4.4.2 Creating new group backup tasks
You can create a disk/partition backup task for several remote computers at once. File-level
backup for groups of computers is unavailable.
1. In Group status or Group tasks management window, select New Group Task on
the toolbar. The Create Group Task Wizard starts to guide you through the task creation
procedure.
2. Form a group for the current task: check computers in the list of remote computers.
3. Select disks/partitions to backup. You can select any combination of hard disks (by
number, according to Windows numeration) and partitions (by letter); or All hard disks.
This setting is applied to every computer in the group, so having a standard (similar)
disks/partitions layout on remote computers would be a plus.
