Corporate administrators need an option to continue a back up despite any errors that

might occur without the system popping up an error box. Details of the operation,

including errors, if any, could be found in the operation log.

With the silent mode enabled, the program will not display interactive windows. Instead,

it will automatically handle situations requiring user intervention such as running out disk

space (except for handling bad sectors, which is defined as a separate option.) No

prompts will be displayed, including those for removable media or overwriting data on a

tape. If an operation cannot continue without user action, it will fail.

Therefore, enable this feature if you do not want unattended backup operations hang on

pop-ups and errors.

6.3.12 Dual destination backup

The preset is disabled. The option is available

only

if the backup is destined for the

Acronis Secure Zone.

If enabled, the program will automatically place a copy of each backup being created in

Acronis Secure Zone on a local drive, network share or FTP server. The consistency of the

external archive copy is maintained automatically. After a backup is saved to the Acronis

Secure Zone, the program compares the updated archive contents to the copy contents,

and if some backups are missing from the copy, they will be copied to the external

location along with the new backup.

In addition to enhancing the archive security provided with replication, this feature allows

traveling users to keep a consistent copy of the laptop data both on the laptop and the

corporate server. When the network is not available, the program will back up data to

Acronis Secure Zone alone. When connected again, all changes made to the archive will

be transferred to the copy during the first backup operation.

The feature provides quick backup to the internal drive as an intermediate step before

saving the ready backup on the network on stationary servers. This comes in handy in

cases of slow or busy networks and time-consuming backup procedures. Disconnection

during the copy transfer will not affect the backup procedure as opposed to backing up

directly to the remote location.

Even if a password is set for the Acronis Secure Zone, the copy archive will not be

protected with the password.

6.3.13 Wake On LAN

This option is available only for tasks created by the Acronis Group Server.

The preset is Enable Wake On LAN.

With this setting, Acronis Group Server will send a magic packet to the remote computer

network interface card (NIC) before starting backup. (A magic packet is a packet that

contains 16 contiguous copies of the receiving NIC's Ethernet address.) This will power on

the computer for running the backup task. Once the backup procedure is over, the

computer can go to sleep if it times out.

Before using the feature, make sure that Wake On LAN is enabled both on the computers

that you intend to back up and the Acronis Group Server.

To enable the Wake On LAN feature on a computer to be backed up:

1. Enter the computer BIOS and set Power -> Wake On PCI PME -> Power On.
