Help in planning my backup plan! :)

Thread needs solution

Ladies and Gentlemen,
Version: Acronis 10 Virtual Edition.

I potentially have a _really_ trivial amateur question but I just can’t figure it out.
If I create a 'backup plan' on server A using the management console on server B (so the backup plan is actually saved on server B) and server B then experiences a major outage and is no longer on the network. Does server A continue to backup as per the set schedule? (Does the instruction from the backup plan using the console on server B get pushed to server A and I never need server B to be online/ working)?
Whenever anyone logs onto server A – the backup plan is not there… it only shows when someone logs onto server B and clicks on the Plans.
I’m just confused?

Many thanks in advance!

No. Everything console displays is received from agent ( or management server) it's connected to. If you see a backup plan there - it's on the agent (server A). You may connect to the agent using console installed on any other pc and you should see them. And server A will execute its backup plans even if B is offline.
