Virtual Machines
The Virtual Machines section shows the hosts and clusters (vCenter) names and gives the total
number of VMs running on the managed ESX(i) host(s) as well as the number of mounted virtual
machines (see the Mounted VMs (p. 97) section).
Locations
The Locations section shows the total statistics for your backup locations status. It shows the Total
backups number, information about the Occupied space, space Occupied by others, and Free space
(both in megabytes/gigabytes and percentages). Occupied space is the space occupied by Acronis
backups. Occupied by others is the space occupied by the data which is not a backup archive. The
Free space statistics is available only for locations which support the retrieval of its value (for
example there will be no such field for FTP locations). Also, from the Locations section you can
switch directly to the Recovery Points view by clicking the link below.
