Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 includes three types of components. 
Components for a managed machine (agents) 
These are applications that perform data backup, recovery and other operations on the machines 
managed with Acronis Backup & Recovery 10. Agents require a license to perform operations on each 
managed machine. Agents have multiple features, or add-ons, that enable additional functionality 
and so might require additional licenses. 
Components for centralized management 
These components, delivered with the Advanced, SBS and Virtual Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 
editions, provide the centralized management capability. Usage of these components is not licensed. 
Console and tools 
The console provides Graphical User Interface and remote connection to the agents and other 
Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 components. With bootable media builders, you can create bootable 
media in order to use the agents and other rescue utilities in a rescue environment. Availability of the 
agent add-ons in a rescue environment depends on whether an add-on is installed on the machine 
where the media builder is working. 
 
1.3.1.  Agent for Windows 
This agent enables disk-level and file-level data protection under Windows. 
Disk backup 
Disk-level data protection is based on backing up either a disk or a volume file system as a whole, 
along with all the information necessary for the operating system to boot; or all the disk sectors using 
the sector-by-sector approach (raw mode). A backup that contains a copy of a disk or a volume in a 
packaged form is called a disk (volume) backup or a disk (volume) image. It is possible to recover disks 
or volumes as a whole from such backup, as well as individual folders or files.  
File backup 
File-level data protection is based on backing up files and folders residing on the machine where the 
agent is installed or on a network share. Files can be recovered to their original location or to another 
place. It is possible to recover all files and folders that  were  backed  up  or  select  which  of  them  to 
recover.  
Other operations 
Conversion to a virtual machine 
Rather than converting a disk backup to a virtual disk file, which requires additional operations to 
bring the virtual disk into use, Agent for Windows performs the conversion by recovering a disk 
backup to a new virtual machine of any of the following types: VMware Workstation, Microsoft 
Virtual PC, Parallels Workstation or Citrix XenServer virtual appliance. Files of the fully configured and
