The option defines the fonts to be used in the Graphical User Interface of Acronis Backup & Recovery
10. The Menu setting affects the drop-down and context menus. The Application setting affects the
other GUI elements.
The preset is: System Default font for both the menus and the application interface items.
To make a selection, choose the font from the respective combo-box and set the font's properties.
You can preview the font's appearance by clicking the button to the right.
3.2 Management server options
The management server options enable you to adjust the behavior of the Acronis Backup & Recovery
10 Management Server.
To access the management server options, connect the console to the management server and then
select Options > Management server options from the top menu.
3.2.1 Logging level
This option defines whether the management server has to collect log events from the registered
machines to the centralized log that is stored in a dedicated database and is available in the Log view.
You can set the option for all the events at once or select the event types to be collected. If you
completely disable collection of the log events, the centralized log will contain only the management
server's own log.
The preset is: Collect logs for All events.
Use the Types of events to log combo-box to specify the types of events that will be collected:
 All events - all events (information, warnings and errors) occurred on all the machines registered
on the management server will be recorded to the centralized log
 Errors and warnings - warnings and errors will be recorded to the centralized log
 Errors only - only errors will be recorded to the centralized log.
To disable collection of the log events, clear the Collect logs check box.
3.2.2 Log cleanup rules
This option specifies how to clean up the centralized event log stored in the management server's
reporting database.
This option defines the maximum size of the reporting database.
The preset is: Maximum log size: 1 GB. On cleanup, keep 95% of the maximum log size.
When the option is enabled, the program compares the actual log size with the maximum size after
every 100 log entries. Once the maximum log size is exceeded, the program deletes the oldest log
entries. You can select the amount of log entries to retain. The default 95% setting will keep most of
the log. With the minimum 1% setting, the log will be nearly cleared.
Even if you remove the log size limit, logging events to an SQL Server Express database will stop after the log
size reaches 4 GB, because SQL Express Edition has the 4 GB per database limit. Set the maximum log size to
approximately 3.8 GB if you want to use the maximum capacity of the SQL Express database.
