1.1.5 Management Console
Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Management Console is an administrative tool for remote or local
access to Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 agents, and in the product editions that include the
centralized management capability, to the Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Management Server.
The console has two distributions for installation on Windows and installation on Linux. While both
distributions enable connection to any Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 agent and Acronis Backup &
Recovery 10 Management Server, we recommend that you use the console for Windows if you have
a choice between the two. The console that installs on Linux has limited functionality:
 remote installation of Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 components is not available
 the Active Directory-related features, such as browsing the AD, are not available.
1.1.6 Bootable Media Builder
Acronis Bootable Media Builder is a dedicated tool for creating bootable media. There are two media
builder distributions for installation on Windows and installation on Linux.
The media builder that installs on Windows can create bootable media based on either Windows
Preinstallation Environment, or Linux kernel. The Universal Restore (p. 5) add-on enables you to
create bootable media with the restore to dissimilar hardware functionality. Universal Restore
handles differences in devices that are critical for Windows start-up, such as storage controllers,
motherboard or chipset.
The media builder that installs on Linux creates bootable media based on Linux kernel.
The Deduplication (p. 5) add-on enables you to create bootable media with the back up to a
deduplicating vault functionality. This add-on can be installed to either of the media builder
distributions.
1.1.7 Acronis Wake-on-LAN Proxy
Acronis Wake-on-LAN Proxy enables Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Management Server to wake up
for backup machines located in another subnet. Acronis Wake-on-LAN Proxy installs on any server in
the subnet where the machines to be backed up are located.
