How does ACRONIS manage MAC addresses?

When does ACRONIS duplicate MAC addresses, and when does it keep native MAC addresses?

The MAC address of a network card is NOT something that is backed up and restored via any software package. It is a hardwired into the network card itself.

grave: I fully understand your point of view. However, I have noticed that when you define a TEAMING or a TRUNK, the MAC addresses of the related interfaces are duplicated by ACRONIS, i.e., forced to the original value, and they are not the native MAC addreses. Hence my question.

Ahhh... good point (you probably should have mentioned that)

I'm not sure how the logical MAC address is created in a link aggregation scenario...

Experts Exchange is like having an extremely knowledgeable team sitting and waiting for your call. Couldn't do my job half as well as I do without it!
