6.3.13 Wake On LAN

This option is available only for tasks created by the Acronis Group Server.
The preset is Enable Wake On LAN.
With this setting, Acronis Group Server will send a magic packet to the remote computer
network interface card (NIC) before starting backup. (A magic packet is a packet that
contains 16 contiguous copies of the receiving NIC's Ethernet address.) This will power on
the computer for running the backup task. Once the backup procedure is over, the
computer can go to sleep if it times out.
Before using the feature, make sure that Wake On LAN is enabled both on the computers
that you intend to back up and the Acronis Group Server.
To enable the Wake On LAN feature on a computer to be backed up:
1. Enter the computer BIOS and set Power -> Wake On PCI PME -> Power On.
2. Set the NIC properties on the computer as follows.
Control Panel -> System -> Device Manager -> Network adapters -> select the NIC ->
Properties -> Advanced:
Enable PME -> Enabled
Wake On Link Settings -> OS Controlled
Wake On Settings -> Wake On Magic Packet.
3. Find out the computer MAC address (Local Area Connection -> Status -> Support ->
Details -> Physical Address.)
4. Repeat steps 1-3 for all computers you wish to wake on LAN.
To enable the Wake On LAN option on the Acronis Group Server:
1. Find the computer to be backed up in the list of computers.
2. Select the computer and enter its MAC address in the Acronis Group Server (sidebar ->
Computer details -> MAC address: Set -> type the hex MAC address as XXXXXXXXXXXX
or XX-XX-XX-XX-XX -> click OK). The program will test the MAC address for validity and
display the test result.
3. Repeat steps 1-2 for all computers you wish to wake on LAN.
4. Schedule a group backup task for the above computers. When setting the backup
options, ensure that the Wake On LAN option is enabled. Any computer that is asleep as
the task starts will be powered on for running the task.
