FTP, SFTP

If the archive is stored on an FTP or SFTP server, type the server name or address in the
Path field as follows:

ftp://ftp_server:port _number or sftp://sftp_server:port number

To establish an active mode FTP connection, use the following notation:

aftp://ftp_server:port _number

If the port number is not specified, port 21 is used for FTP and port 22 is used for SFTP.

After entering access credentials, the folders on the server become available. Click the
appropriate folder on the server.

You can access the server as an anonymous user if the server enables such access. To do
so, click Use anonymous access instead of entering credentials.

According to the original FTP specification, credentials required for access to FTP servers
are transferred through a network as plaintext. This means that the user name and
password can be intercepted by an eavesdropper using a packet sniffer.

Storage nodes

When working in the operating system, access a storage node by selecting the respective
centralized vault. When operating on a machine booted with bootable media:

To access a managed vault, type the following string in the Path field:

bsp://node_address/vault_name/

To access an unmanaged centralized vault, type the full path to the vault's folder.

NFS drives

If the archive is stored on an NFS share, expand the NFS drives group and click the folder.

Available only in Linux and under Linux-based bootable media.

Data catalog

Data catalog lets you easily find the required version of data and select it for recovery. On a managed
machine, the data catalog functionality is available through the Data view tab for any vault accessible
from this machine. On the management server, the catalog functionality is available through both
Data view and the centralized Data catalog. The centralized data catalog displays in a single place all
the data stored in the centralized managed vaults.

Acronis Backup may upload data catalog files from a vault to a local cache folder. By default, this folder is
located on the disk where the operating system is installed. For information about changing the default cache
folder, refer to the "Changing the default cache folder for catalog files" (p. 188)
section.

To access the Data view tab, connect the console to a machine or to the management server,
navigate to Vaults view, and click the required vault.

To access the Data catalog, connect the console to the management server and select Data
catalog
in the Navigation tree.
