  1. Which Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud capability allows service providers to offer disaster recovery as a managed service, including cloud-hosted recovery servers and VPN connectivity?

    Answer: Disaster Recovery add-on for Cyber Protect Cloud

    The Disaster Recovery add-on for Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud provides MSPs with cloud failover infrastructure, VPN tunnels, and recovery orchestration for managed DR services.

  2. What is the purpose of Acronis Universal Restore when performing a bare-metal recovery to dissimilar hardware?

    Answer: It injects appropriate drivers so the OS can boot on hardware different from the original source

    Universal Restore injects the correct HAL and storage drivers into the restored OS, enabling it to boot on hardware with a different chipset or storage controller.

  3. A forensic backup in Acronis Cyber Protect captures which additional data beyond a standard disk backup?

    Answer: RAM contents and running process information alongside the disk image

    Forensic backups in Acronis capture volatile data including RAM contents and running processes, enabling post-incident investigation alongside the disk image.

  4. Which method does Acronis use to back up VMware vSphere virtual machines without installing an agent inside each guest VM?

    Answer: Host-level agentless backup using vSphere APIs (VADP)

    Acronis uses VMware vSphere Storage APIs for Data Protection (VADP) to perform agentless backups at the hypervisor level without agents inside guest VMs.

  5. In Acronis Cyber Protect, which protection feature monitors the backup chain and automatically removes orphaned incremental backups that no longer have a valid full backup parent?

    Answer: Retention rule

    Retention rules in Acronis manage backup chain health by removing outdated or orphaned backups based on defined age or count thresholds.

  6. Which Acronis Cyber Protect feature allows an administrator to define a sequence of recovery steps — including server boot order, network configuration, and test scripts — for orchestrated DR?

    Answer: Runbook automation

    Runbook automation in Acronis DR lets administrators define and automate ordered recovery steps, boot sequences, and validation scripts for repeatable failover execution.

  7. What is the maximum recommended frequency for backups when using Acronis Continuous Data Protection (CDP) to achieve near-zero RPO for critical workloads?

    Answer: Continuous — changes are captured in seconds

    CDP in Acronis captures changes continuously at the block level, reducing RPO to seconds rather than relying on fixed-interval scheduled snapshots.
