Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Agent for WindowsThe following are the parameters of Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Agent that can be set by using Acronis Administrative Template. Licensing Specifies how often the agent checks its license on the license server, and how long it can work without a license server. License Check Interval (in days) Description: Specifies how often, in days, to check for license availability on Acronis License Server. Possible values: any integer number between 0 and 5 Default value: 1 Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Agent periodically checks whether its license key is present on the license server. The first check is performed every time that Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Agent starts and subsequent checks are performed once in the number of days given by License Check Interval. When the agent cannot connect to the license server, a warning is recorded into the agent’s log. You can view this warning in the Dashboard. If the value is 0, no license check will be performed; without a license, Acronis Backup & Recovery 10′s functionality will be disabled after the number of days given by Maximum Time Without License Server (see the next parameter). See also License Server Connection Retry Interval later in this topic. Maximum Time Without License Server (in days) Description: Specifies how long, in days, Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 will work as normal until its functionality is disabled. Possible values: any integer number between 0 and 60 Default value: 30 If Acronis License Server is unavailable, Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 will continue working with full functionality for the number of days specified in Maximum Time Without License Server, as counted from the moment of installation or from the last successful check. License Server Connection Retry Interval (in hours) Description: Specifies the interval, in hours, between connection attempts when Acronis License Server is unavailable. Possible values: any integer number between 0 and 24 Default value: 1 If, during a check for the license key (see License Check Interval earlier in this topic), Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Agent could not connect to the license server, it will try to reconnect once in the number of hours given by License Server Connection Retry Interval. If the value is 0, no reconnection attempts will be performed; the agent will only check for the license as determined by License Check Interval. License Server Address Description: Specifies the network name or IP address of Acronis License Server. Possible values: Any string 0 to 32765 characters long Default value: Empty string Log Cleanup Rules Specifies how to clean up the agent log.

Possible values: True or False Default value: False Trace Level Description: Specifies the minimum level of severity of events to be recorded into the event log. Only events of levels greater than or equal to the value in Trace Level will be recorded. Possible values: 0 (Internal event), 1 (Debugging information), 2 (Information), 3 (Warning), 4 (Error), or 5 (Critical error) Default value: 4 (only errors and critical errors will be recorded—if Trace State is set to True) SNMP Specifies the types of the agent’s events to send notifications about by means of Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). This parameter has the following settings: Trace State Description: Specifies whether to send the SNMP notifications. Possible values: True or False Default value: False Trace Level Description: Specifies the minimum level of severity of events for sending SNMP notifications about them. Only notifications about events of levels greater than or equal to Trace Level will be sent. Possible values: 0 (Internal event), 1 (Debugging information), 2 (Information), 3 (Warning), 4 (Error), or 5 (Critical error) Default value: 4 (only errors and critical errors will be recorded—if Trace State is set to True) SNMP Address Description: Specifies the network name or IP address of the SNMP server. Possible values: Any string 0 to 32765 characters long Default value: Empty string SNMP Community Description: Specifies the community name for the SNMP notifications. Possible values: Any string 0 to 32765 characters long Default value: public Backup Specifies the location and initial size of the snapshot storage—a temporary file that is used when backing up data by taking a snapshot. This file is deleted as soon as the backup is complete. With the default settings, the snapshot storage is created in a Windows’ temporary files folder and initially occup You may want to increase the initial size of the snapshot storage—or to place it on a different volume—when experiencing problems with backing up data that changes extensively during backup. This parameter is used when creating a backup plan. Changes to this parameter do not affect already existing backup plans. This parameter has the following settings: Snapshot Storage Path Description: Specifies the folder in which to create the snapshot storage. Possible values: Any string 0 to 32765 characters long Default value: Empty string An empty string means a temporary files folder, which is typically given by the TMP or TEMP environment variable. You can specify a local folder on any volume, including a volume you are backing up. Snapshot Storage Absolute Size Description: Specifies the initial size of the snapshot storage, in megabytes. Possible values: Any integer number between 0 and 2147483647 Default value: 0 If this setting is 0, the management server uses the Snapshot Storage Relative Size setting. The initial size will not exceed the available space minus 50 MB. Snapshot Storage Relative Size This setting is effective only when the Snapshot Storage Absolute Size setting is 0. Description: Specifies the initial size of the snapshot storage as a percentage of the disk space that is available at the time of starting the backup. Possible values: Any integer number between 0 and 100 Default value: 50 If this setting is 0, the snapshot storage will not be created. The initial size will not exceed the available space minus 50 MB. Without the snapshot storage, taking snapshots is still possible. The size of the snapshot storage does not affect the size of the backup. |
