2.1.3.2 Credentials cache

The option specifies whether to store the credentials entered while using the management console.

The preset is: Disabled.

If the option is disabled, access credentials for various locations that you enter during a console

session are stored only until the console is closed.

If the option is enabled, the credentials are saved for use during later sessions. In Windows, the

credentials are stored in the Windows Credential Manager. In Linux, the credentials are stored in a

special encrypted file.

2.1.3.3 Fonts

The option defines the fonts to be used in the Graphical User Interface of Acronis Backup & Recovery

11. The Menu font setting affects the drop-down and context menus. The Application font setting

affects all 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 Browse to the right.

The “Activities Need Interaction” dialog

This option defines whether to display a pop-up window when one or more activities require user

requires interaction, you can open this window at any time from the managed machine's welcome

screen. Alternatively, you can review the task execution states in the Backup plans and tasks view

and specify your decision on each task in the information panel.

The preset is: Enabled.

To make a selection, select or clear the The “Activities Need Interaction” dialog check box.
