6.2.4 Source type

Select the type of data you want to be backed up on the managed machine. The list of available data

types depends on the agents running on the machine:

Files

Available if the Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Agent for Windows (or for Linux) is installed.

Select this option to back up specific files and folders.

If you are not concerned about recovery of the operating system along with all the settings and

applications, but plan to keep safe only certain data (the current project, for example), choose file

backup. This will reduce the archive size, thus saving storage space.

Disks/volumes

Available if the Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Agent for Windows (or for Linux) is installed.

Select this option to back up disks and/or volumes. To be able to back up disks or volumes, you must

have Administrator or Backup operator privileges.

Backing up disks and volumes enables you to recover the entire system in case of severe data

damage or hardware failure. The backup procedure is faster than copying files, and may significantly

speed up the backup process when it comes to backing up large volumes of data.

Note for Linux users: We recommend that you unmount any volumes that contain non-journaling file systems—

such as the ext2 file system—before backing them up. Otherwise, these volumes might contain corrupted files

upon recovery; recovery of these volumes with resize might fail.

Entire virtual machines

Available if Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Agent for Hyper-V (or for ESX/ESXi) is installed.

Select this option to back up one or more virtual machines residing on a virtualization server.
