4.5 Discovering Servers
The purpose of discovering servers is to find servers on the network automatically and
add them to the list in the Computers pane. The first time the program is executed,
the list in the Computers pane list is empty and you will be prompted to discover
servers. In order to be able to create backup and recovery operations on servers, you
should launch the search or add servers to the list manually.
To discover servers click on the Discover Computers icon from the Computers pane
on the left. You will be asked if you want to search for database servers on the
network. Click YES to do it immediately, or NO to do it later. Discovery will update the
current status of all computers already included in the list.
If, for any reason, a server cannot be found with this tool, you can add it manually to
the tree (see 4.6 “Adding Servers”).
4.6 Adding Servers
If you cannot locate a server with the Discover Computers tool, you can add it to the
tree manually.
You can apply any discovery operation later as required. The operation will add newly
connected servers to the list in the Computers pane. At the same time, discovery will
update the current status of all computers already included in the list.
You can start an Add Computer dialog to add servers to the tree of the Computers
pane in several ways. Here are two:
• Click on the Add Servers icon in the main area
• Click on the Add Servers button in the Computers pane toolbar
1. Enter the server name or IP address manually in a Server field or choose it
from the drop-down list. You can also click Browse to view all available
computers and select the one you want to add.
2. Click OK to add the server to the tree.
4.7 Connecting to a Remote Microsoft Exchange Server
In order to perform any operation on a remote Microsoft Exchange server, you must
first connect to it. Once connected, you can manage tasks: set up backup/restore
options on remote database servers and schedule backup, restore and backup location
clean-up tasks.
To establish a remote connection, select a server in the Computers pane and click
Connect to a Remote Computer in the right pane. If you have connected to this
server previously, Acronis Recovery for MS Exchange will use credentials for accessing
the computer automatically. Otherwise a dialog window will be opened:
• In the Computer field, enter the name or the IP address of the computer
or select a computer from the drop-down list, by clicking the Browse...
button
• To provide credentials for accessing the computer, click the Options>>
button
