Automatic machine freezing feature
Why do some of your machines no longer appear in your "Machines without backup" tab?
The machine "freeze" feature of the KiwiBackup backup software stops automatic missed-backup alerts from being sent for machines you want to keep but that no longer back up.
To prevent the "Machines on alert" tab, which lists machines that have not been backed up for at least 30 days, from becoming cluttered, we automatically freeze machines that have not backed up for 1 year.
However, these machines remain visible in your "Control room" or in "Contract management". Frozen machines are marked with a blue dot, while a backed-up machine is shown with a green, orange or red dot depending on the date of its last successful backup (see image).
