Read the first 7 Data Protection & Disaster Recovery Strategies flashcards as text

  1. In Acronis Cyber Protect, which recovery time objective (RTO) scenario is best served by running a backup image directly as a virtual machine without full restoration?

    Answer: Instant restore (runVM)

    Instant restore (runVM) lets you boot the backup image as a VM immediately, achieving near-zero RTO while full restoration completes in the background.

  2. Which Acronis concept defines the maximum tolerable amount of data an organization can afford to lose in a disaster, measured in time?

    Answer: RPO

    Recovery Point Objective (RPO) defines how far back in time data loss is acceptable, directly driving backup frequency decisions.

  3. An Acronis administrator wants to ensure that backups stored on a NAS device are also replicated offsite automatically. Which Acronis feature achieves this without manual intervention?

    Answer: Backup replication rule

    Backup replication rules in Acronis automatically copy backup files to a secondary location, ensuring offsite redundancy.

  4. When configuring a disaster recovery plan in Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud, which network mode allows recovered cloud servers to communicate with on-premises resources without exposing them to the public internet?

    Answer: Multi-site VPN tunnel

    A multi-site VPN tunnel connects the Acronis DR cloud environment to on-premises infrastructure over an encrypted private channel.

  5. Which retention policy type in Acronis removes old backups based on the number of stored versions rather than their age?

    Answer: By count

    The 'by count' retention policy deletes the oldest backup version once the specified maximum number of versions is exceeded.

  6. In Acronis, what is the primary purpose of bootable media created with Acronis Media Builder?

    Answer: To perform bare-metal restore on systems that cannot boot

    Bootable media allows you to recover a system from a backup even when the OS is unbootable, enabling bare-metal restore scenarios.

  7. Which Acronis Cyber Protect feature continuously tracks changes at the block level and captures them more frequently than scheduled backups to minimize data loss?

    Answer: Continuous Data Protection (CDP)

    Continuous Data Protection (CDP) captures every write to protected volumes in near real-time, reducing RPO to seconds.
