ACRONIS Backup & Recovery Server OEM, User Manual

Page: 78 / 153

Backup plans that operate with the same archive should back up the same data items (say, both
plans back up volume C.)
Applying multiple retention rules to an archive makes the archive content in some way
unpredictable. Since each of the rules will be applied to the entire archive, the backups belonging
to one backup plan can be easily deleted along with the backups belonging to the other.
Normally, each complex backup plan should back up to its own archive.
5.2.7 Access credentials for archive location
Specify credentials required for access to the location where the backup archive will be stored. The
user whose name is specified will be considered as the archive owner.
To specify credentials
1. Select one of the following:

Use the plan's credentials
The program will access the source data using the credentials of the backup plan account
specified in the General section.
 Use the following credentials
The program will access the source data using the credentials you specify. Use this option if the plan
account does not have access permissions to the location. You might need to provide special
credentials for a network share.
Specify:

User name . When entering the name of an Active Directory user account, be sure to also
specify the domain name (DOMAIN\Username or Username@domain)
 Password . The password for the account.
Click OK .
Warning: According to the original FTP specification, credentials required for access to FTP servers are
transferred through a network as plaintext. This means that the user name and password can be intercepted by
an eavesdropper using a packet sniffer.
5.2.8 Backup schemes
Choose one of the available backup schemes:

Back up now – to create a backup task for manual start and run the task immediately after its
creation.

Back up later – to create a backup task for manual start OR schedule one-time task execution in
the future.
 Simple – to schedule when and how often to backup data and specify retention rules.

Custom – to create a custom scheme, where you are free to set up a backup strategy in the way
your enterprise needs it most: specify multiple schedules for different backup types, add
conditions and specify the retention rules.
5.2.8.1 Back up now scheme
With the Back up now scheme, the full backup will be performed immediately, right after you click
the OK button at the bottom of the page.
