Re-attempt, if an error occurs

The preset is: Enabled. Number of attempts: 30. Interval between attempts: 30 seconds.

When a recoverable error occurs, the program re-attempts to perform the unsuccessful operation.

You can set the time interval and the number of attempts. The attempts will be stopped as soon as

the operation succeeds OR the specified number of attempts are performed, depending on which

comes first.

For example, if the backup destination on the network becomes unavailable or not reachable, the

program will attempt to reach the destination every 30 seconds, but no more than 5 times. The

attempts will be stopped as soon as the connection is resumed OR the specified number of attempts

is performed, depending on which comes first.

If Acronis Cloud Storage is selected as the primary, the second, or a further backup location, the option value is

automatically set to Enabled. Number of attempts: 300, regardless of the default value.

Ignore bad sectors

The preset is: Disabled.

When the option is disabled, the program will display a pop-up window each time it comes across a

bad sector and ask for a user decision as to whether to continue or stop the backup procedure. In

order to back up the valid information on a rapidly dying disk, enable ignoring bad sectors. The rest

of the data will be backed up and you will be able to mount the resulting disk backup and extract

valid files to another disk.

4.7.10 Event tracing

It is possible to duplicate log events of the backup operations, performed on the managed machine,

in the Application Event Log of Windows; or send the events to the specified SNMP managers.

4.7.10.1 SNMP notifications

This option is effective for both Windows and Linux operating systems.

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

The option defines whether the agent(s) operating on the managed machine have to send the log

events of the backup operations to the specified Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)

managers. You can choose the types of events to be sent.

For detailed information about using SNMP with Acronis Backup, please see "Support for SNMP (p.

29)".

The preset is: Use the setting set in the Machine options.

To select whether to send the backup operations events to the SNMP managers:

Choose one of the following:

 Use the setting set in the Machine options – to use the setting specified for the machine. For

more information refer to Machine options.

 Send SNMP notifications individually for backup operation events – to send the events of the

backup operations to the specified SNMP managers.
