User`s guide

The option defines the fonts to be used in the Graphical User Interface of Acronis Disk Director. The

Menu setting affects the drop-down and context menus. The Application setting affects the other

GUI elements.

The preset is: System Default font for both the menus and the application interface items.

To make a selection, choose the font from the respective combo-box and set the font's properties.

You can preview the font's appearance by clicking the button to the right.

5.4.5 Machine options

The machine options define the general behavior of all Acronis Disk Director agents operating on the

managed machine, and so the options are considered machine-specific.

To access the machine options, connect the console to the managed machine and then select

Options > Machine options from the top menu.

5.4.5.1 Windows event log

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

This option defines whether the agent(s) operating on the managed machine have to log events in

the Application Event Log of Windows (to see this log, run eventvwr.exe or select Control Panel >

Administrative tools > Event Viewer). You can filter the events to be logged.

The preset is: Disabled.

To enable this option, select the Log events check box.

Use the Types of events to log check box to filter the events to be logged in the Application

Event Log of Windows:

 All events - all events (information, warnings and errors)

 Errors and warnings

 Errors only.

To disable this option, clear the Log events check box.

5.4.5.2 Log cleanup rules

This option specifies how to clean up the Acronis Disk Director agent log.

This option defines the maximum size of the agent log folder (in Windows XP/2003 Server,

%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Application Data\Acronis\BackupAndRecovery\MMS\LogEvents).

The preset is: Maximum log size: 1 GB. On cleanup, keep 95% of the maximum log size.

When the option is enabled, the program compares the actual log size with the maximum size after

every 100 log entries. Once the maximum log size is exceeded, the program deletes the oldest log

entries. You can select the amount of log entries to retain. The default 95% setting will keep most of

the log. With the minimum 1% setting, the log will be nearly cleared.
