Basic concepts
Please familiarize yourself with the basic notions used in the Acronis Backup & Recovery Server OEM
graphical user interface and documentation. Advanced users are welcome to use this section as a
step-by-step quick start guide. The details can be found in the context help.
Backup under operating system
1.
To protect data on a machine, install Acronis Backup & Recovery Server OEM agent on the
machine which becomes a managed machine (p. 151) from this point on.
2.
To be able to manage the machine using Graphical User Interface, install Acronis Backup &
Recovery Server OEM Management Console on the same machine or any machine from which
you prefer to operate. If you have the standalone product edition, skip this step since in your
case the console installs with the agent.
3.
Run the console. To be able to recover the machine's operating system if the system fails to start,
create bootable media.
4.
Connect the console to the managed machine.
5.
Create a backup plan.
To do so, you have to specify, at the very least, the data to be protected and the location where
the backup archive will be stored. This will create a minimal backup plan consisting of one task
(p. 151) that will create a full backup (p. 147) of your data every time the task is manually started.
A complex backup plan might consist of multiple tasks which run on schedule; create full
backups; perform archive maintenance operations such as backup validation (p. 152) or deleting
outdated backups. You can customize backup operations using various backup options, such as
pre/post backup commands, network bandwidth throttling, error handling or notification
options.
6.
Use the
Backup plans and tasks
page to view information about your backup plans and tasks and
monitor their execution. Use the
Log
page to browse the operations log.
7.
The location where you store backup archives is called a vault (p. 152). Navigate to the
Vaults
page to view information about your vaults. Navigate further to the specific vault to view
archives and backups and perform manual operations with them (mounting, validating, deleting,
viewing contents). You can also select a backup to recover data from it.
