in the Source field; and the event number, shown in the Event ID field.

When you are finished, click OK to close the Event Properties dialog box.

5.5. Advanced scheduling settings

The following advanced settings are available when setting up a daily, weekly, or monthly schedule in

a backup policy.

Use Wake-On-LAN

When this setting is enabled, Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Management Server will use the Wake-

On-LAN (WOL) functionality to wake up turned-off registered machines when a backup, cleanup or

validation is scheduled to start. If the backup task on each machine starts with a delay (see the next

setting), the management server will wake up the machines according to those delays.

Before using this setting, make sure that you have enabled Wake-on-LAN on the registered machines.

The machine's basic input/output system (BIOS) configuration, network adapter configuration, and

the operating system configuration must allow waking up the machine from the powered-off state—

also known as the S5 or G2 power state.

Distribute start time within the time window

When this setting is enabled, the backup task on each registered machine will start with a specific

delay from the start time set in the policy. This distributes the tasks' actual start times within a time

interval.

You may want to use this setting when creating a backup policy for backing up multiple machines to a

network location, to avoid excessive network load.

Delay values range from zero to the specified maximum delay value, and are determined according to

the chosen distribution method.

The delay value for each machine is determined when the policy is deployed to the machine, and

remains the same until you edit the policy and change the maximum delay value.

The conditions, if any, will be checked at the task's actual start time on each machine.

The following examples illustrate this setting.

Example 1

Suppose that you are deploying a backup policy with the following schedule to three machines:

Run the task: Daily

Once at: 09:00:00 AM

Distribute start time within the time window

Maximum delay: 1 Hour(s)

Distribution method: Random

Then the task's start time on each machine may be any time between 09:00:00 AM and

09:59:59 AM—for instance:
