Dual Destination Backup; Wake On Lan - ACRONIS TRUE IMAGE ECHO - WORKSTATION User Manual

When the backup destination location on the network is not available or not reachable,
the program will attempt to reach the location at the specified time interval.

6.3.12 Dual destination backup

The preset is disabled.
If enabled, the program will automatically place a copy of each backup being created
locally to a separate location on a local drive or network share. The consistency of the
additional archive copy is maintained automatically. After a backup is saved to the main
location, the program compares the updated archive contents to the copy contents, and if
some backups are missing from the copy, they will be copied to the external location
along with the new backup.
In addition to enhancing the archive security provided with replication, this feature allows
traveling users to keep a consistent copy of the laptop data both on the laptop and the
corporate server. When the remote destination for the creation of the archive copy is not
available, e.g. due to the network absence, the program will back up data to the local
destination alone. When connected again, all changes made to the archive will be
transferred to the copy during the first backup operation.
The feature provides quick desktop backup to the internal drive as an intermediate step
before saving the ready backup on the network. This comes in handy in cases of slow or
busy networks and time-consuming backup procedures. Disconnection during the copy
transfer will not affect the backup procedure as opposed to backing up directly to the
remote location.
If saving a backup copy to ASZ please note: even when a password is set for the Acronis
Secure Zone, the copy archive will not be protected with the password.

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.
