User guide

Simply ignore this option if you do not use the encryption. Enable the option if encrypted files are

included in the backup and you want them to be accessed by any user after recovery. Otherwise,

only the user who encrypted the files/folders will be able to read them. Decryption may also be

useful if you are going to recover encrypted files on a different machine.

File encryption is available in Windows using the NTFS file system with the Encrypting File System (EFS). To

access a file or folder encryption setting, select Properties > General > Advanced Attributes > Encrypt contents

to secure data.

Preserve file security settings in archives

This option defines whether to back up NTFS permissions for files along with the files.

The preset is: Enabled.

When the option is enabled, files and folders are saved in the archive with the original permissions to

read, write or execute the files for each user or user group. If you recover a secured file/folder on a

machine without the user account specified in the permissions, you may not be able to read or

modify this file.

To completely eliminate this kind of problem, disable preserving file security settings in archives. The

recovered files and folders will always inherit the permissions from the folder to which they are

recovered or from the disk, if recovered to the root.

Alternatively, you can disable recovery (p. 131) of the security settings, even if they are available in

the archive. The result will be the same - the files will inherit the permissions from the parent folder.

To access file or folder NTFS permissions, select Properties > Security.

4.6.13 Media components

This option is effective for both Windows and Linux operating systems, when the backup destination

is CD, DVD, or Blue-ray Disc (BD).

When backing up to this media, you can make this media work as regular Linux-based bootable

media (p. 265) by writing additional components to it. As a result, you will not need a separate

rescue disc.

The preset is: No bootable components.

Choose one of the following components you want to put on the bootable media:

 Acronis Bootable Agent is a bootable rescue utility (based on Linux kernel) that includes most of

the functionality of the Acronis Backup & Recovery 11.5 agent. Put this component on the media

if you want more functionality during recovery. You will be able to configure the recovery

operation in the same way as under regular bootable media; use Active Restore or Universal

Restore. If the media is being created in Windows, the disk management functionality will also be

available.

 Acronis Bootable Agent and One-Click Restore. The One-Click Restore is the minimal addition to

a disk backup stored on removable media, allowing for easy recovery from this backup. If you

boot a machine from the media and click Run Acronis One-click Restore, the disk will be

immediately recovered from the backup contained on the same media.

Caution: Because the one-click approach does not presume user selections, such as selecting volumes to

recover, Acronis One-Click Restore always recovers the entire disk. If your disk contains several volumes and
