Hidden Preferences

Alt+clicking the Synthetic Full backup icon in the header panel of Schedule Volumes or Schedule Folders displays five tabs of preferences that can be applied individually to each machine.

Synthetic Full tab

• When performing synthetic full backups - If synthetic full backups are being used on a KBU managed machine and the Image Location or Offsite Servers' local directory is a UNC path, such as \\server\share, then Copy the Files Locally First is enabled by default instead of Access the Network Directly. To use this robust consolidation option effectively, appropriate hard disk space is required on the managed machine. See the Kaseya knowledge base for more information.
• Run synthetic full backups <N> time(s) until successful - Sets the Synthetic Full Attempts count for synthetic full backups.
• Retry after <N> days(s) - Sets the Retry after (days) count.

Installer tab

• Max Number of Concurrent Downloads - Sets the maximum number of concurrent downloads.

Offsite Replication tab

• Verification method used to check Offsite data integrity - Selects the verification method used to check offsite data integrity.
  • Quickest File Verification using File Size and Last Modified Time
  • Quick File Verification with SHA-1 Hash for Partial Files only
  • File Verification with SHA-1 Hash for Partial Files and Complete Files

Diagnostics tab

• Run AcronisInfo on selected machines - Runs AcronisInfo on selected machines. AcronisInfo is a utility that automatically gathers User Rights Assignment list, Windows Event Log, Msinfo32, Acronis registry keys, Acronis logs, Acronis Scheduler report, Acronis Disks Report and list of user’s Active Directory groups. This information is placed inside a AcronisInfo.zip file. The AcronisInfo.zip file can then be downloaded from a link that displays in the Acronis Link Info column of selected machines.

  Note: Creating the AcronisInfo.zip file displays progress bars and other programs on the user's desktop momentarily. You may wish to get the user's approval before running this process.

Backup Options tab

• Use multivolume snapshot option - This option applies only to machines with VSS for Volume Backup and only to the Schedule Volumes page. If checked, snapshots of all volumes being backed up are created simultaneously. Use this option to create a time-consistent backup of data spanning multiple volumes, for instance, database files. If unchecked, volume snapshots are taken one after the other. Backups of data spanning several volumes may not consistent.
