Management Console; Bootable Media Builder - ACRONIS BACKUP AND RECOVERY 10 ADVANCED SERVER SBS EDITION - UPDATE 3 User Manual

Encryption
A managed vault can be configured so that anything written to it is encrypted and anything read
from it is decrypted transparently by the storage node, using a vault-specific encryption key stored
on the node server. In case the storage medium is stolen or accessed by an unauthorized person, the
malefactor will not be able to decrypt the vault contents without access to this specific storage node.
If the archive is already encrypted by the agent, the storage node-side encryption is applied over the
encryption performed by the agent.
1.3.2.3 PXE Server
Acronis PXE Server allows for booting machines into Acronis bootable components through the
network.
The network booting:

Eliminates the need to have a technician onsite to install the bootable media (p. 389) into the
system that has to be booted

During group operations, reduces the time required for booting multiple machines as compared
to using physical bootable media.
1.3.2.4 License Server
The server enables you to manage licenses of Acronis products and install the components that
require licenses.
For more information about Acronis License Server please see "Using Acronis License Server".

Management Console

Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Management Console is an administrative tool for remote or local
access to Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 agents, and in the product editions that include the
centralized management capability, to the Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Management Server.
The console has two distributions for installation on Windows and installation on Linux. While both
distributions enable connection to any Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 agent and Acronis Backup &
Recovery 10 Management Server, we recommend that you use the console for Windows if you have
a choice between the two. The console that installs on Linux has limited functionality:

remote installation of Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 components is not available
 the Active Directory-related features, such as browsing the AD, are not available.
1.3.4

Bootable Media Builder

Acronis Bootable Media Builder is a dedicated tool for creating bootable media (p. 389). The media
builder that installs on Windows can create bootable media based on either Windows Preinstallation
Environment, or Linux kernel.
The Universal Restore (p. 18) add-on enables you to create bootable media with the restore to
dissimilar hardware functionality. Universal Restore handles differences in devices that are critical for
Windows start-up, such as storage controllers, motherboard or chipset.
