Options > Machine options
from the top menu.
3.3.1
Machine management
This option defines whether the machine has to be managed centrally by the Acronis Backup &
Recovery 10 Management Server.
To be able to use this option, you must be logged on as a member of the
Administrators
group on
the machine.
You have the opportunity to register the machine on the management server when installing an
Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 agent. If the machine is not registered, selecting
Centralized
management
here will initiate the registration (p. 358). Or you can add the machine to the
management server on the server side. Any of the three registration methods require the server
administrator privileges.
Selecting
Stand-alone management
on a registered machine will result in the machine stopping
communication with the server. On the management server, the machine appears as
Withdrawn
.
The management server administrator can delete the machine from the server or register the
machine once again.
The preset is:
Stand-alone management
.
To set up centralized management on the machine:
1.
Select
Centralized management
.
2.
Specify the
Management Server IP/Name
.
3.
Specify the user name and password of the management server administrator on prompt.
4.
In the
Machine's registration address
, select how the machine will be registered on the
management server: by its name (recommended) or by its IP address.
5.
Click
OK
and the machine will be registered on the management server.
To disable centralized management, select
Stand-alone management
.
3.3.2
Event tracing
It is possible to duplicate log events generated by the agent(s), operating on the managed machine,
in the Application Event Log of Windows; or send the events to the specified SNMP managers. If you
do not modify the event tracing options anywhere except for here, your settings will be effective for
each local backup plan and each task created on the machine.
You can override the settings set here, exclusively for the events occurred during backup or during
recovery (see Default backup and recovery options (p. 85).) In this case, the settings set here will be
effective for operations other than backup and recovery, such as archive validation or cleanup.
You can further override the settings set in the default backup and recovery options, when creating a
backup plan or a recovery task. The settings you obtain in this case will be plan-specific or task-
specific.
3.3.2.1
Windows event log
This option is effective only in Windows operating systems.
This option is not available when operating under the bootable media.
