3.4. Default backup and recovery options 

3.4.1.  Default backup options 

Each Acronis agent has its own default backup options. Once an agent is installed, the default options 
have pre-defined values, which are referred to as presets  in the documentation. When creating a 
backup plan, you can either use a default option, or override the default option with the custom 
value that will be specific for this plan only. 

You can also customize a default option itself by changing its value against the pre-defined one. The 
new value will be used by default in all backup plans you will create later on this machine. 

To view and change the default backup options, connect the console to the managed machine and 
then select Options > Default backup and recovery options > Default backup options from the top 
menu.  

The set of available backup options depends on: 

• 

The environment the agent operates in (Windows, bootable media) 

• 

The type of the data being backed up (disk, file) 

• 

The backup destination (networked location or local disk) 

• 

The backup scheme (Back up now or using the scheduler) 

The following table summarizes the availability of the backup options.
