Linux

To receive SNMP messages on a machine running Linux, the net-snmp (for RHEL and SUSE) or the
snmpd (for Debian) package has to be installed.

SNMP can be configured using the snmpconf command. The default configuration files are located in
the /etc/snmp directory:

/etc/snmp/snmpd.conf - configuration file for the Net-SNMP SNMP agent

/etc/snmp/snmptrapd.conf - configuration file for the Net-SNMP trap daemon.

12.6.5.3 Windows event log

This option is effective only in Windows operating systems.

This option is not available when operating under the bootable media.

This option defines whether the agent(s) operating on the managed machine have to log events in
the Application Event Log of Windows (to see this log, run eventvwr.exe or select Control Panel >
Administrative tools > Event Viewer
). You can filter the events to be logged.

You can override the settings set here, exclusively for the events that occur during backup or during
recovery, in the Default backup and recovery options. In this case, the settings set here will be
effective for operations other than backup and recovery, such as archive validation or cleanup.

You can further override the settings set in the default backup and recovery options, when creating a
backup plan or a recovery task. The settings you obtain in this case will be plan-specific or
task-specific.

The preset is: Disabled.

To enable this option, select the Log events check box.

Use the Types of events to log check box to filter the events to be logged in the Application
Event Log of Windows:

All events - all events (information, warnings and errors)

Errors and warnings

Errors only.

To disable this option, clear the Log events check box.

12.6.6 Log cleanup rules

This option specifies how to clean up the Acronis Backup agent log.

This option defines the maximum size of the agent log file. The file paths are as follows:

In Windows XP and Server 2003: %ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Application
Data\Acronis\BackupAndRecovery\MMS\events.db3
.

In Windows Vista and later versions of
Windows: %PROGRAMDATA%\Acronis\BackupAndRecovery\MMS\events.db3.

In Linux: /var/lib/Acronis/BackupAndRecovery/MMS/events.db3.

The preset is: Maximum log size: 50 MB. On cleanup, keep 95% of the maximum log size.
