To perform each task (Backup, Restore, RunVM, Validate, etc.) the Agent needs about 100Mb of
memory. Acronis vmProtect could perform parallel tasks (such as parallel backup tasks, etc) of up to
5 tasks at a time. If more than 5 tasks are run simultaniously, the Agent will process only the first 5
tasks, while the other tasks will remain in the queue with the "waiting" status.
Also, note that Acronis vmProtect 6.0 reserves and always uses the following system TCP ports: 111
(sunrpc), 9000 (WCS), 764 (nfs_server), 9876 (Remote Agent Service).
