Operation Manual

This parameter can also be set by using Acronis Administrative Template (p. 408).

15.4.10.7 Cloud backup proxy

This option is effective only for connection to Acronis Cloud Storage over the Internet.

This option defines whether the management server will connect to the Internet through a proxy

server.

Note The proxy server must be configured to redirect both HTTP/HTTPS and TCP traffic.

Proxy settings for the agent and the management server are configured separately, even if both are

installed on the same machine.

To set up proxy server settings

1. Select the Use a proxy server check box.

2. In Address, specify the network name or IP address of the proxy server—for example:

proxy.example.com or 192.168.0.1

3. In Port, specify the port number of the proxy server—for example: 80

4. If the proxy server requires authentication, specify the credentials in User name and Password.

5. To test the proxy server settings, click Test connection.

15.5 Configuring Acronis Backup components

There are three ways to configure various parameters of Acronis Backup components in Windows:

 By using Acronis Administrative Template

 By using the graphical user interface (GUI)

 By modifying the Windows registry

In Linux, instead of using the administrative template and modifying the registry, parameters are

configured by editing the corresponding configuration files.

If the values of any of these parameters set through the administrative template differ from those

set through the graphical user interface, the template-based parameters take precedence and are

effective immediately; the parameters shown in the GUI will be changed accordingly.

The following subtopics describe each way of configuration and the parameters that can be

configured through it.

15.5.1 Parameters set by using Acronis Administrative Template

The following are the parameters of Acronis Backup components that can be set by using Acronis

Administrative Template. For information on how to apply the administrative template, see "How to

load Acronis Administrative Template" (p. 400).

The administrative template contains the configuration parameters of Acronis Backup Agent, Acronis

Backup Management Server, Acronis Backup Storage Node, and common parameters of Acronis

Backup components.

The Acronis Backup Storage Node parameters are described in the "Storage nodes" (p. 225) section.

Other parameters are described in the correspondent subtopics.
