If the archive is already encrypted by the agent, the storage node-side encryption is applied over the

encryption performed by the agent.

PXE Server

Acronis PXE Server allows for booting machines into Acronis bootable components through the

network.

The network booting:

 Eliminates the need to have a technician onsite to install the bootable media (p. 369) into the

system that has to be booted

 During group operations, reduces the time required for booting multiple machines as compared

to using physical bootable media.

License Server

The server enables you to manage licenses of Acronis products and install the components that

require licenses.

For more information about Acronis License Server please see "Using Acronis License Server".

1.3.5 Management Console

Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Management Console is an administrative tool for remote or local

access to Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 agents, and in the product editions that include the

centralized management capability, to the Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Management Server.

The console has two distributions for installation on Windows and installation on Linux. While both

distributions enable connection to any Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 agent and Acronis Backup &

Recovery 10 Management Server, we recommend that you use the console for Windows if you have

a choice between the two. The console that installs on Linux has limited functionality:

 remote installation of Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 components is not available

 the Active Directory-related features, such as browsing the AD, are not available.

1.3.6 Bootable Media Builder

Acronis Bootable Media Builder is a dedicated tool for creating bootable media (p. 369). There are

two media builder distributions for installation on Windows and installation on Linux.

The media builder that installs on Windows can create bootable media based on either Windows

Preinstallation Environment, or Linux kernel. The Universal Restore (p. 17) add-on enables you to

create bootable media with the restore to dissimilar hardware functionality. Universal Restore

handles differences in devices that are critical for Windows start-up, such as storage controllers,

motherboard or chipset.

The media builder that installs on Linux creates bootable media based on Linux kernel.

The Deduplication (p. 18) add-on enables you to create bootable media with the back up to a

deduplicating vault functionality. This add-on can be installed to either of the media builder

distributions.
