11.6 Adjusting machine options
The machine options define the general behavior of all Acronis Backup 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.
11.6.1 Additional settings
Specify what to do if the machine is about to be shut down while a task is running
This option is effective only for Windows operating systems.
It determines Acronis Backup behavior when the system is shutting down. The system shutdown
occurs when the machine is turned off or restarted.
The preset is: Stop running tasks and shut down.
If you select Stop running tasks and shut down, all of the running Acronis Backup tasks will be
aborted.
If you select Wait for task completion, all of the running Acronis Backup tasks will be completed.
11.6.2 Acronis Customer Experience Program
This option is effective only for Windows operating systems.
This option defines whether the machine will participate in the Acronis Customer Experience
Program (CEP).
If you choose Yes, I want to participate in the CEP, information about the hardware configuration,
the most and least used features and about any problems will be automatically collected from the
machine and sent to Acronis on a regular basis. The end results are intended to provide software
improvements and enhanced functionality to better meet the needs of Acronis customers.
Acronis does not collect any personal data. To learn more about the CEP, read the terms of
participation on the Acronis website or in the product GUI.
Initially the option is configured during the Acronis Backup agent installation. This setting can be
changed at any time using the product GUI (Options > Machine options > Customer Experience
Program). The option can also be configured using the Group Policy infrastructure. A setting defined
by a Group Policy cannot be changed using the product GUI unless the Group Policy is disabled on
the machine.
