3.2.4 Domain access credentials

This option determines the user name and password that the management server will use to access

the domain.

The preset is: No credentials

The management server needs domain access credentials when working with a dynamic group that is

based on the Organizational unit criterion (p. 307). When you are creating such group and no

credentials are given by this option, the program will ask you for credentials and save them in this

option.

It is sufficient to specify the credentials of a user who is a member of the Domain Users group on the

domain.

3.2.5 Acronis WOL Proxy

This option works in combination with the Use Wake-On-LAN (p. 166) advanced scheduling setting.

Use this option if the management server has to wake up for backup machines located in another

subnet.

When the scheduled operation is about to start, the management server sends out magic packets to

wake up the appropriate machines. (A magic packet is a packet that contains 16 contiguous copies of

the receiving NIC's MAC address). The Acronis WOL Proxy, installed in the other subnet, transfers the

packets to machines located in that subnet.

The preset is: Disabled.

To bring this option into use:

1. Install Acronis WOL Proxy on any server in the subnet where the machines to be woken are

located. The server has to provide continuous services availability. With multiple subnets, install

Acronis WOL Proxy in every subnet where you need to use the Wake-On-LAN functionality.

2. Enable Acronis WOL Proxy in the Management server options as follows:

a. Select the Use the following proxies check box.

b. Click Add, and then enter the name or IP address of the machine where the Acronis WOL

Proxy is installed. Provide access credentials for the machine.

c. Repeat this step if there are several Acronis WOL Proxies.

3. When scheduling a backup policy, enable the Use Wake-On-LAN setting.

You also have the ability to delete proxies from the list. Please keep in mind that any change to this

option affects the entire management server. If you delete a proxy from the list, the Wake-On-LAN

functionality in the corresponding subnet will be disabled for all policies, including the policies

already applied.

3.2.6 VM protection options

These options define the management server behavior as related to backup and recovery of virtual

machines hosted on virtualization servers.
