Encrypted communication provides secure transfer of information between any two
components—for example, between Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Agent and Acronis Backup &
Recovery 10 Storage Node—by encrypting the data being transferred.

For instructions on how to set up secure authentication and data encryption settings, see Configuring
communication options (p. 74).

For instructions on how to manage SSL certificates used for secure authentication, see SSL certificates
(p. 79).

Note: The components of earlier Acronis products, including those of the Acronis True Image Echo family, cannot
connect to the Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 components, regardless of the secure authentication and data
encryption settings.

2.11.8.2. Client and server applications

There are two stakeholders of the secure communication process:

•

Client application, or client, is an application that tries to establish connection.

•

Server application, or server, is an application to which the client tries to connect.

For example, if Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Management Console is connecting to Acronis Backup
& Recovery 10 Agent on a remote machine, the former is the client and the latter is the server.

An Acronis component can act as a client application, a server application, or both, as shown in the
following table.

2.11.8.3. Configuring communication settings

You can configure communication settings, such as whether to encrypt transferred data, for Acronis
Backup & Recovery 10 components installed on one or more machines, by using Acronis
Administrative Template. For information on how to load the Administrative Template, see How to
load Acronis Administrative Template (p. 78).
