Which Acronis licensing model allows customers to pay based on the amount of data protected rather than the number of devices?
Answer: Capacity-based licensing
Capacity-based licensing charges organizations according to the total amount of data they back up, not the number of endpoints.
Under GDPR, what must an Acronis administrator ensure when backing up personal data of EU residents to a cloud location outside the EU?
Answer: Adequate data transfer protections such as Standard Contractual Clauses must be in place
GDPR requires that transfers of personal data outside the EU rely on adequate safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses or an adequacy decision.
An organization uses Acronis Cyber Protect for 150 workstations but their license covers only 100. What is the most appropriate immediate action?
Answer: Purchase additional licenses to cover all protected workstations
Operating beyond licensed seat count violates the Acronis EULA; additional licenses must be purchased to remain compliant.
What does the Acronis End User License Agreement (EULA) typically prohibit regarding license transfers?
Answer: Transferring licenses to a third party without Acronis written consent
Acronis EULAs generally prohibit sublicensing or transferring licenses to another party without prior written approval from Acronis.
Which compliance standard specifically governs the protection of cardholder data and directly impacts how Acronis backups of payment systems must be configured?
Answer: PCI DSS
PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard) mandates controls for protecting cardholder data, including encrypted storage of backups containing that data.
In Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud, which feature helps service providers demonstrate compliance by generating automated reports of backup job statuses and SLA adherence?
Answer: Compliance Reports
Compliance Reports in Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud provide automated summaries of backup success rates, SLA compliance, and protection coverage for audit purposes.
What is the purpose of the Acronis 'trial' license and what happens when it expires?
Answer: It enables full product features for a limited period, after which protection tasks stop running
Acronis trial licenses activate all product features for a defined period (typically 30 days), and once expired, scheduled backup tasks cease execution until a valid license is applied.
