Default recovery options

Each Acronis agent has its own default recovery 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 recovery task, you can either use a default option, or override the default option with the custom value that will be specific for this task 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 recovery tasks you will create later on this machine.

To view and change the default recovery options, connect the console to the managed machine and then select Options > Default backup and recovery options > Default recovery options from the top menu.

Availability of the recovery options

The set of available recovery options depends on:

• The environment the agent operates in (Windows, Linux, bootable media).
• The type of data being recovered (disk, file).
• The operating system being recovered from the disk backup (Windows, Linux).

The following table summarizes the availability of the recovery options.
