Operation Manual

 443 and 8443 These ports are used for accessing the backup console, registering the agents,

downloading the certificates, user authorization, and downloading files from the cloud storage.

 7770...7800 The agents use these ports to communicate with the backup management server.

 44445 The agents use this port for data transfer during backup and recovery.

If a proxy server is enabled in your network, refer to the "Proxy server settings" (p. 18) section to

understand whether you need to configure these settings on each machine that runs a backup agent.

2.6.2 Proxy server settings

The backup agents can transfer data through an HTTP proxy server.

The agent installation requires an Internet connection. If a proxy server is configured in Windows

(Control panel > Internet Options > Connections), the setup program reads the proxy server settings

from the registry and uses them automatically. In Linux and OS X, you must specify the proxy settings

before the installation.

Use the procedures below to specify the proxy settings before the agent installation or to change

them at a later time.

In Linux

1. Create the file /etc/Acronis/Global.config and open it in a text editor.

2. Copy and paste the following lines into the file:

<?xml version="1.0" ?>

<value name="Host" type="TString">"proxy.company.com"</value>

</key>

</registry>

3. Replace proxy.company.com with your proxy server host name/IP address, and 443 with the

decimal value of the port number.

4. Save the file.

5. If the backup agent is not installed yet, you can now install it. Otherwise, as the root user, restart

the agent by executing the following command in any directory:

sudo service acronis_mms restart

In OS X

1. Create the file /Library/Application Support/Acronis/Registry/Global.config and open it in a
