11.2.1 Selecting data to back up
To select the data to back up
1. In the Data to back up section, select the type of data you want to be backed up. The list of
available data types depends on the agents running on the machines:
Machines/disks/volumes
Select this option to back up:
Entire physical machines or their disks or volumes, if Acronis Backup & Recovery 11
Agent for Windows or Acronis Backup & Recovery 11 Agent for Linux is installed.
To be able to back up this data, you must have Administrator or Backup operator
privileges.
A disk-level backup enables you to recover the entire system in case of severe data
damage or hardware failure. The backup procedure is faster than copying files, and may
significantly speed up the backup process when it comes to backing up large volumes of
data.
Entire virtual machines residing on a virtualization server or their disks or volumes, if
Acronis Backup & Recovery 11 Agent for ESX(i) or Acronis Backup & Recovery 11 Hyper-V
is installed.
Backing up an entire virtual machine, its disks, or volumes yields a standard disk backup
(p. 372). In addition, this backup stores the virtual machine configuration. This
configuration will be suggested by default when recovering the backup content to a new
virtual machine. For more information about backing up virtual machines see "Backing
up virtual machines".
Folders/files
Available if Acronis Backup & Recovery 11 Agent for Windows or Acronis Backup & Recovery
11 for Linux is installed.
Select this option to back up specific files and folders.
A file-level backup is not sufficient for recovery of the operating system. Choose file backup if
you plan to keep safe only certain data (the current project, for example). This will reduce
the archive size, thus saving storage space.
In order to recover your operating system along with all the settings and applications, you
have to perform a disk backup.
2. Choose how to select the items:
Select items directly (default) recommended in cases, when backing up different data
items on multiple machines. For example, FolderA on Machine1, FolderB on Machine2,
FolderC on Machine3, etc.
