The policy itself remains on the management server.7.1.3 Physical machinesAcronis Backup & Recovery 10 lets the administrator protect data and perform managementoperations on multiple machines. The administrator adds a machine to the management server usingthe machine's name or IP address, imports machines from Active Directory, or from text files. Once amachine is registered (p. 371) on the management server, it becomes available for grouping, applyingbackup policies and monitoring the activities related to data protection.To estimate whether the data is successfully protected on a managed machine, the managementserver administrator checks its status. A machine's status is defined as the most severe status of allbackup plans (p. 180) (both local and centralized) existing on the machine and all backup policies (p.283) applied to the machine. It can be "OK", "Warnings" or "Errors".GroupsThe management server administrator has the ability to group machines. A machine can be amember of more than one group. One or more nested groups can be created inside any groupcreated by the administrator.Grouping helps organize data protection by the company departments, by the Active Directorydomains or organizational units within a domain, by various populations of users, by the sitelocations, etc.The main goal of grouping is protection of multiple machines with one policy. Once a machineappears in a group, the policy applied to the group is applied to the machine and the new tasks arecreated by the policy on the machine. Once a machine is removed from a group, the policy appliedto the group will be revoked from the machine and the tasks created by the policy will be removed.Built-in group - a group that always exists on a management server. The group cannot be deleted orrenamed. A built-in group cannot include nested groups. A backup policy can be applied to a built-ingroup. The example of a built-in group is the All physical machines group, that contains all themachines registered on the management server.Custom groups - groups created manually by the management server administrator. Static groupsStatic groups contain machines manually added to the group by the administrator. A staticmember remains in the group until the administrator removes the member from the group ordeletes the corresponding managed machine from the management server. Dynamic groupsDynamic groups contain machines added automatically according to the criteria specified by theadministrator. Once the criteria are specified, the management server starts to analyze the
