Default Recovery Options - ACRONIS Backup & Recovery 10 Server for Windows User Manual

The preset is: Disabled.
Enabling this option turns off deduplicating backups at source, meaning that deduplication will be
performed by Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Storage Node after the backup is saved to the vault (this
is called deduplication at target).
Turning off deduplication at source may lead to faster backup processes but greater network traffic
and heavier load of the storage node. The eventual size of the backup in the vault is independent of
whether deduplication at source is turned on.
Deduplication at source and deduplication at target are described in Deduplication overview.
Save software RAID and LVM metadata along with backups
This option is effective only for disk-level backups of machines running Linux.
The preset is: Enabled.
When this option is enabled, Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 will save information about the structure
of logical volumes (known as LVM volumes) and of Linux Software RAID devices (known as MD
devices) to the /etc/Acronis directory before creating the backup.
When recovering MD devices and LVM volumes under bootable media, you can use this information
to automatically recreate the volume structure. For instructions, see Recovering MD devices and
logical volumes (p. 187).
When using this option, make sure that the volume containing the /etc/Acronis directory is among
the volumes to back up.
Use FTP in Active mode
The preset is: Disabled.
Enable this option if the FTP server supports active mode and you want this mode to be used for file
transfers.

Default recovery options

Each Acronis agent has its own default recovery 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 recovery task, you can either use a default option, or override the default option with the
custom value that will be specific for this task 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 recovery tasks you will create later on this machine.
To view and change the default recovery options, connect the console to the managed machine and
then select Options > Default backup and recovery options > Default recovery options from the top
menu.
Availability of the recovery options
