3. If prompted for credentials, specify the user name and password. The user has to be a member
of the Acronis Remote Users and the Acronis Centralized Admins groups on the server.
The step-by-step instructions provided later in this document focus on managing the machine
through the management server.
The management console is referred to as the console later in this document.
6 Configuring proxy settings
If one or more machines where you installed agents connect to the Internet through a proxy server,
you need to configure each of the agents to use the proxy server.
The management server connects to the Internet to retrieve information about online backup
subscriptions. The proxy settings for the management server also need to be configured.
Proxy settings for the agent and the management server are configured separately, even if both are
installed on the same machine.
To configure proxy settings for an agent
1. Connect the console to the machine for which you want to configure proxy settings.
2. In the Options menu, located on the toolbar, click Machine options.
3. Click Online backup proxy.
4. Enter the proxy server settings. For detailed information about the settings please refer to the
context-sensitive help.
5. Repeat steps 2–5 for all machines that connect to the Internet through a proxy server.
To configure proxy settings for the management server
1. Connect the console to the management server.
2. In the Options menu, located on the toolbar, click Management server options.
3. Click Online backup proxy.
4. Enter the proxy server settings. For detailed information about the settings please refer to the
context-sensitive help.
7 Activating online backup subscriptions
To be able to back up a machine to the online storage, you need to purchase and activate a
subscription to the Acronis Backup & Recovery Online service. You can purchase subscriptions on the
Acronis Web site or from an Acronis reseller.
Before activating a subscription, please take into account the following considerations:
As soon as a subscription is activated, its subscription period starts. To avoid losing subscription
time, activate the subscription only when you are ready to back up the machine.
If a machine already has a subscription, the new subscription will replace the old one. You can
reassign the old subscription to a different machine—see "Reassigning an activated subscription"
later in this section.
