Acronis Backup Advanced for vCloud - Administrator's Guide User Manual

Page 32

By default the speed is set to maximum, so that the software uses all the network bandwidth
available when transferring the backup data. Use this option to reserve a part of the network
bandwidth for other network activities.



Error handling
Specify how to handle errors that might occur during backup or recovery.
When a recoverable error occurs, the program re-attempts to perform the unsuccessful
operation. You can set the time interval and the number of attempts. The attempts will stop as
soon as the operation succeeds OR the specified number of attempts are performed, depending
on which comes first.
For example, if Number of attempts is set to 30, Interval between attempts is set to 30 seconds,
and the backup destination on the network becomes unavailable or not reachable, the program
will attempt to reach the destination every 30 seconds, but no more than 30 times.

Usage report for Acronis

These settings are used when you send reports about using the backup service to Acronis.



Company name
Specify the name of your company. Acronis will use it to identify your usage reports.



Contact e-mail
Specify your e-mail address. Acronis will use this address to contact you, if needed.

If you want to automate sending the reports, select the Automatically send usage reports to Acronis
on the first day of each month check box.

For detailed information about usage reports, refer to "Generating usage reports" (p. 34).

Quota

This setting specifies which parameter will be used to determine the storage quota for an
organization. Choose one of the following:



Storage usage (default)
The quota will be based on the total size of all backups in the backup storage.



Backed-up data
The quota will be based on the total amount of data that was backed up. This setting is useful if
the backups are deduplicated.

Public URL

This setting is used to display an easily readable backup service address that you can provide to the
organization users. The address is displayed in the organization details under Login page.

By default, Agent for vCloud uses its IP address to construct the login page addresses. For example, if
the IP address is 10.200.200.10, after backup is enabled for an organization named MyOrganization,
the address under Login page in the organization details will be displayed as:
https://10.200.200.10/org/MyOrganization

In Public URL, specify how the URL of the backup service appears on the public side of a firewall, load
balancer, NAT/reverse proxy, and other network components that you may have in front of your
infrastructure. The URL must include either an external IP address or a valid DNS name that can be
resolved by the users' DNS servers.

For example: https://www.backup.example.com/
