Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Computer Management -> Local Users and
Groups -> AcronisBackupServerUsers.
The person who installed the program becomes the administrator in this group. The
administrator is automatically registered on the backup server.
Generally, there are two types of profiles on the backup server: Administrators and Users.
The
Administrators
profiles are designed to perform backups on remote computers with
Acronis True Image Agents. Whatever computer the administrator backs up, backup data
will be sent to the same location, assigned to the computer. Administrators can also
manage archives on the backup server, including archives created via Users’ profiles.
The
Users
profiles are designed to back up data from computers with Acronis True
Image Echo Workstation local version. Whatever computer the user operates on, backup
data will be sent to the same location assigned to that user.
A domain/local administrator added as administrator to the Backup Server can restore
archives created by any other user/administrator of the Backup Server. A Backup Server
administrator who doesn’t have domain/local administrative rights cannot restore archives
created by any other user/administrator of the Backup Server.
3.5.4 Operations with archives
Acronis Backup Server can display a list of backups, stored on the backup server, and sort
the list by location or owners (users and computers).
An administrator, if need be, can consolidate any backup (except for the oldest one in the
archive) manually with the preceding backup file. This operation deletes the preceding
backup and sets concatenation between the backup being consolidated and the backup
before the deleted one. Thus, the archive integrity will not be affected, in spite of the fact
that one backup will be deleted. Data recovery from any of the remaining backups will be
possible.
An archive can be exported from Acronis Backup Server to a local hard drive or network
share or imported from external location to a computer’s or user’s backup location on the
backup server.
3.6 Acronis Active Restore
With this feature you can boot the OS on a crashed computer before the system is
completely restored from an image and start work seconds after the restoration is
launched. The restoration will be continued in the background.
3.6.1 Limitations in using Acronis Active Restore
1. Acronis Active Restore is currently available for images located in the Acronis Secure

2. Acronis Active Restore does not support images of Windows Vista. If any Vista edition
is detected in an image, the Active Restore option will not appear.

4. Acronis Active Restore cannot be used if the image contains no operating system (a
logical partition or disk image) or when restoring file archives.
