Acronis Backup & Recovery 10This section of the administrative template specifies the connection parameters and event tracing parameters for the following Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 components:
Connection parameters Remote Agent ports Specifies the port that the component will use for incoming and outgoing communication with other Acronis components. Select one of the following: Not Configured The component will use the default TCP port number 9876. Enabled The component will use the specified port; type the port number in the Server TCP Port box. Disabled The same as Not configured. Client Encryption options Specifies whether to encrypt the transferred data when the component acts as a client application, and whether to trust self-signed SSL certificates. Select one of the following: Not Configured The component will use the default settings, which is to use encryption if possible and to trust self-signed SSL certificates (see the following option). Enabled Encryption is enabled. In Encryption, select one of the following: Enabled Data transfer will be encrypted if encryption is enabled on the server application, otherwise it will be unencrypted. Disabled Encryption is disabled; any connection to a server application which requires encryption will not be established. Required Data transfer will be performed only if encryption is enabled on the server application (see “Server Encryption options”); it will be encrypted. Authentication parameters Selecting the Trust self-signed certificates check box allows the client to connect to the server applications that use self-signed SSL certificates such as certificates created during the installation of Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 components—see SSL certificates. You should keep this check box selected, unless you have a Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) in your environment. In Use Agent Certificate Authentication, select one of the following: Do not use The use of SSL certificates is disabled. Any connection to a server application which requires the use of SSL certificates will not be established. Use if possible The use of SSL certificates is enabled. The client will use SSL certificates if their use is enabled on the server application, and will not use them otherwise. Always use The use of SSL certificates is enabled. The connection will be established only if the use of SSL certificates is enabled on the server application. Disabled The same as Not configured. Server Encryption options Specifies whether to encrypt the transferred data when the component acts as a server application. Select one of the following: Not Configured The component will use the default setting, which is to use encryption if possible (see the following option). Enabled Encryption is enabled. In Encryption, select one of the following: Enabled Data transfer will be encrypted if encryption is enabled on the client application, otherwise it will be unencrypted. Disabled Encryption is disabled; any connection to a client application which requires encryption will not be established. Required Data transfer will be performed only if encryption is enabled on the client application (see “Client Encryption options”); it will be encrypted. Authentication parameters In Use Agent Certificate Authentication, select one of the following: Do not use The use of SSL certificates is disabled. Any connection to a client application which requires the use of SSL certificates will not be established. Use if possible The use of SSL certificates is enabled. The server will use SSL certificates if their use is enabled on the client application, and will not use them otherwise. Always use The use of SSL certificates is enabled. The connection will be established only if the use of SSL certificates is enabled on the client application. Disabled The same as Not configured. Event tracing parameters In Windows, the events occurring in Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 can be recorded into the event log, a file, or both. Each event has a level from zero to five based on the event’s severity, as shown in the following table:
Event tracing parameters are specified as the following settings in the administrative template: File Trace Minimal Level Description: Specifies the minimum severity level of events to be recorded in the file. Only events of levels greater than or equal to File Trace Minimal Level will be recorded. Possible values: Any severity level from Unknown through Critical, or Blocked to not record any events Default value: 2 (meaning that events with severity levels two through five will be recorded) The log files are located inside the folder %ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Application Data\Acronis, in the Logs subfolder for the particular component. Win32 Trace Minimal Level Description: Specifies the minimum severity level of events to be recorded in the System event log. Only events of levels greater than or equal to Win32 Trace Minimal Level will be recorded. Possible values: Any severity level from Unknown through Critical, or Blocked to not record any events Default value: 4 (meaning that events about errors and critical errors will be recorded) Customer Experience Program Specifies whether the machine where the Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 component is installed will participate in the Customer Experience Program. Select one of the following: Not Configured By default, the machine does not participate in the Customer Experience Program. Enabled In Enable sending reports to Acronis, select one of the following: Enable Information about the hardware configuration, the most and least used features and about any problems will be automatically collected from the machine and sent to Acronis on a regular basis. The end results are intended to provide software improvements and enhanced functionality to better meet the needs of Acronis customers. Acronis does not collect any personal data. The terms of participation can be found on the Acronis Web site. Disable The information will not be sent. Disabled The same as Not configured. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
