During the subsequent backups, only changes to the original data will be sent to the cloud storage
and will not affect network traffic as much.
In this scenario, create a backup plan with the Initial seeding scheme. When creating the backup plan,
specify a local folder in the Location field. This can be a folder on the hard drive that you are going to
send. For more details, see “How to perform initial seeding?” (p. 183).
After you have sent the hard drive and the order status becomes The data upload has been
completed, edit the backup plan. Change the backup scheme, destination, and replication settings to
those previously described in this section.
The updated backup plan will produce backups that will be replicated to the cloud storage outside
working hours.
4.6 How to disable backup cataloging
Cataloging a backup adds the contents of the backup to the data catalog as soon as the backup is
created.This process can be time-consuming. Therefore, you may want to disable cataloging on a
managed machine. To do it, go to Options > Machine options and configure the Backup cataloging
option.
4.7 Default backup options
Each Acronis agent has its own default backup options. Once an agent is installed, the default options
have pre-defined values, which are referred to as presets in the documentation. When creating a
backup plan, you can either use a default option, or override the default option with the custom
value that will be specific for this plan only.
You can also customize a default option itself by changing its value against the pre-defined one. The
new value will be used by default in all backup plans you will create later on this machine.
To view and change the default backup options, connect the console to the managed machine and
then select Options > Default backup and recovery options > Default backup options from the top
menu.
Availability of the backup options
The set of available backup options depends on:

The environment the agent operates in (Linux, bootable media)

The type of the data being backed up (disk, file)

The backup destination (networked location or local disk)

The backup scheme (manual start or using the scheduler)
The following table summarizes the availability of the backup options.
