11.4 Event tracing
11.4.1 Windows event log
You can choose whether to store event log messages, issued by Acronis True Image
Workstation, to Windows Event Log (to see this log, run eventvwr.exe or select Control
Panel -> Administrative tools -> Event Viewer -> Application).
The default setting – Do not save messages
To change this setting, select Tools -> Options -> Windows event log.
An additional choice is available between recording All events, Warnings and Errors, or
Errors only.
11.4.2 SNMP notifications
You can choose whether to send event log messages, issued by Acronis True Image
Workstation, to computers, running SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol)
management applications.
The default setting – Do not send messages to SNMP clients
Having chosen Send messages to SNMP clients, specify a name or IP address of the
client computer. Otherwise messages will be sent to all SNMP clients found in the local
network.
An additional choice is available between sending All events, Warnings and Errors, or
Errors only messages.
Acronis True Image Workstation provides the following SNMP objects to SNMP management
applications:
1.3.6.1.4.1.24769.100.200.1.0 - string identifying a type of occurred event (Information,
Warning, Error)
1.3.6.1.4.1.24769.100.200.2.0 - string containing text description of occurred event (it looks
identically to messages published by Acronis True Image Workstation in its log).
11.5 Managing System Restore
Microsoft Windows System Restore tool, available in Windows XP operating system, is used
to undo harmful changes to the system without losing recently changed or created user
data. To run the System Restore tool or find out more about it, select Start -> Programs -
> Accessories -> System Tools -> System Restore. (Please be aware that the older
Windows versions do not feature System Restore, therefore, under these operating systems
Manage System Restore tool is unavailable.)
If you run Acronis True Image Workstation regularly, this feature in your operating system is
redundant. You can turn it off, freeing up to 12% of your hard disks space, directly from
Acronis True Image Workstation.
This feature is available in Acronis True Image Workstation local version only. Managing
System Restore using Acronis True Image Management Console is impossible.
