15.5 Configuring Acronis Backup components
There are three ways to configure various parameters of Acronis Backup components in Windows:

By using Acronis Administrative Template

By using the graphical user interface (GUI)

By modifying the Windows registry
In Linux, instead of using the administrative template and modifying the registry, parameters are
configured by editing the corresponding configuration files.
If the values of any of these parameters set through the administrative template differ from those
set through the graphical user interface, the template-based parameters take precedence and are
effective immediately; the parameters shown in the GUI will be changed accordingly.
The following subtopics describe each way of configuration and the parameters that can be
configured through it.
15.5.1 Parameters set through administrative template
The following are the parameters of Acronis Backup components that can be set by using Acronis
Administrative Template. For information on how to apply the administrative template, see "How to
load Acronis Administrative Template" (p. 392).
The administrative template contains the configuration parameters of Acronis Backup Agent, Acronis
Backup Management Server, Acronis Backup Storage Node, and common parameters of Acronis
Backup components.
The Acronis Backup Storage Node parameters are described in the "Storage nodes" (p. 220) section.
Other parameters are described in the correspondent subtopics.
