Setting up SNMP services on the receiving machine

Windows

To install the SNMP service on a machine running Windows:

1. Start > Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs > Add/Remove Windows Components.

2. Select Management and Monitoring Tools.

3. Click Details.

4. Select the Simple Network Management Protocol check box.

5. Click OK.

You might be asked for lmmib2.dll that can be found on the installation disc of your operating

system.

Linux

To receive SNMP messages on a machine running Linux, the net-snmp (for RHEL and SUSE) or the

snmpd (for Debian) package has to be installed.

SNMP can be configured using the snmpconf command. The default configuration files are located in

the /etc/snmp directory:

 /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf - configuration file for the Net-SNMP SNMP agent

 /etc/snmp/snmptrapd.conf - configuration file for the Net-SNMP trap daemon.

3.2.2 Log cleanup rules

This option specifies how to clean up the Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 agent log.

This option defines the maximum size of the agent log folder (in Windows XP/2003 Server,

%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Application Data\Acronis\BackupAndRecovery\MMS\LogEvents).

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.

This parameter can also be set by using Acronis Administrative Template.

3.2.3 Customer Experience Program

This option defines whether the machine will participate in the Acronis Customer Experience

Program (ACEP).

If you choose Yes, I want to participate in the ACEP, information about the hardware configuration,

the most and least used features and about any problems will be automatically collected from the

machine and sent to Acronis on a regular basis. The end results are intended to provide software

improvements and enhanced functionality to better meet the needs of Acronis customers.

Acronis does not collect any personal data. To learn more about the ACEP, read the terms of

participation on the Acronis Web site or in the product GUI.
