User Guide

 HostType – The component that runs the task:

 AGENT – Any Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Agent

 STORAGE NODE – Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Storage Node

 ID – The unique identifier of the task

 BackupPlanID – The unique identifier of the backup plan to which the task belongs—or NULL if

the task does not belong to any backup plan

 HostID – The unique identifier of the component that runs the task

Note for Virtual Edition: On a Hyper-V host, the value in this column will be the same for both the tasks

performed by Agent for Hyper-V and by Agent for Windows. This is because Agent for Hyper-V is not a

separate component, but a feature of Agent for Windows.
