Customer Experience Program

This option defines whether the machine will participate in the Acronis Customer Experience
Program (ACEP).
If you choose Yes, I want to participate in the ACEP, information about the hardware configuration,
the most and least used features and about any problems will be automatically collected from the
machine and sent to Acronis on a regular basis. The end results are intended to provide software
improvements and enhanced functionality to better meet the needs of Acronis customers.
Acronis does not collect any personal data. To learn more about the ACEP, read the terms of
participation on the Acronis Web site or in the product GUI.
Initially the option is configured during the Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 agent installation. This
setting can be changed at any time using the product GUI (Options > Machine options > Customer
Experience Program). The option can also be configured using the Group Policy infrastructure (p.
343). A setting defined by a Group Policy cannot be changed using the product GUI unless the Group
Policy is disabled on the machine.

3.4 Default backup and recovery options

3.4.1

Default backup options

Each Acronis agent has its own default backup options. Once an agent is installed, the default options
have pre-defined values, which are referred to as presets in the documentation. When creating a
backup plan, you can either use a default option, or override the default option with the custom
value that will be specific for this plan only.
You can also customize a default option itself by changing its value against the pre-defined one. The
new value will be used by default in all backup plans you will create later on this machine.
To view and change the default backup options, connect the console to the managed machine and
then select Options > Default backup and recovery options > Default backup options from the top
menu.
Availability of the backup options
The set of available backup options depends on:

The environment the agent operates in (Windows, Linux, bootable media)

The type of the data being backed up (disk, file)
 The backup destination (networked location or local disk)
 The backup scheme (Back up now or using the scheduler)
The following table summarizes the availability of the backup options.
