5.5 Advanced scheduling settings

The following advanced settings are available when setting up a daily, weekly, or monthly schedule in

a backup policy.

Use Wake-On-LAN

When this setting is enabled, Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Management Server will use the Wake-

On-LAN (WOL) functionality to wake up turned-off registered machines when a backup, cleanup or

validation is scheduled to start. If the backup task on each machine starts with a delay (see the next

setting), the management server will wake up the machines according to those delays.

Before using this setting, make sure that you have enabled Wake-on-LAN on the registered

machines. The machine's basic input/output system (BIOS) configuration, network adapter

configuration, and the operating system configuration must allow waking up the machine from the

powered-off state—also known as the S5 or G2 power state.

Distribute start time within the time window

When this setting is enabled, the backup task on each registered machine will start with a specific

delay from the start time set in the policy. This distributes the tasks' actual start times within a time

interval.

You may want to use this setting when creating a backup policy for backing up multiple machines to a

network location, to avoid excessive network load.

Delay values range from zero to the specified maximum delay value, and are determined according

to the chosen distribution method.

The delay value for each machine is determined when the policy is deployed to the machine, and

remains the same until you edit the policy and change the maximum delay value.

The conditions, if any, will be checked at the task's actual start time on each machine.

The following examples illustrate this setting.

Example 1

Suppose that you are deploying a backup policy with the following schedule to three machines:

1 2 ... 169 170 171 172 173 174 175 176 177 178 179 ... 388 389
