You can configure communication settings, such as whether to encrypt transferred data, for Acronis Backup components installed on one or more machines, by using Acronis Administrative Template. For information on how to load the administrative template, see How to load Acronis Administrative Template.
When applied to a single machine, the administrative template defines the communication settings for all the components on the machine; when applied to a domain or an organizational unit, it defines the communication settings for all the components on the machines in that domain or organizational unit.
To configure communication settings
Click Start, then click Run, and then type gpedit.msc
In the Group Policy console, expand Computer Configuration, then expand Administrative Templates, and then click Acronis.
In the Acronis pane to the right, double-click a communication option that you want to configure. The administrative template contains the following options:
Remote Agent ports
Client Encryption options
Server Encryption options
For the new communication settings to take effect, restart all running Acronis components—preferably, by restarting Windows. If restart is not possible, make sure you do the following:
If Acronis Backup Management Console is running, close it and start it again.
If other Acronis components, such as Acronis Backup Agent for Windows or Acronis Backup Management Server are running, restart their corresponding services from the Services snap-in in Windows.
