1.3.8 Configuring Acronis Backup Agent for vCloud
Before configuring Acronis Backup Agent for vCloud, make sure that Acronis Backup Management
Server is installed (p. 13) and configured (p. 17).
Logging in
Log in as a root user to the machine with Agent for vCloud. The default credentials are:

User name: root

Password: Default0 (case-sensitive)
Configuring the time zone
Set the time zone to that of the vCloud Director machine. This will enable Agent for vCloud to
convert time between user's and vCloud Director's time zones.
1. Find out the time zone of the vCloud Director machine. If you are not sure, log on to the machine
and run the date command. The output contains the time zone abbreviation. For example:
Mon Aug 26 23:00:00 EST 2013
EST stands for Eastern Standard Time. This time zone includes parts of the United States and
Canada, and some countries in South America. For more abbreviations see
http://www.timeanddate.com/library/abbreviations/timezones/.
2. On the machine with Agent for vCloud, in the /usr/share/zoneinfo directory, find the file that
corresponds to your region and time zone.
For example, for the Eastern Time Zone of the United States, the time zone file is:
/usr/share/zoneinfo/US/Eastern
3. Delete the old time zone settings:
rm -f /etc/localtime
4. Specify the new time zone settings:
ln -s /etc/localtime
For example:
ln -s /usr/share/zoneinfo/US/Eastern /etc/localtime
