Storage Management & Optimization Flashcards

In Acronis Cyber Protect, what is the purpose of the 'cleanup' rule in a backup scheme?

Answer: To automatically delete old backup versions based on retention policy

Cleanup rules define when and how old backup versions are deleted to enforce retention policies and free storage space.

Which storage type in Acronis supports object-level deduplication across multiple backup sources?

Answer: Acronis Cyber Infrastructure (ACI)

Acronis Cyber Infrastructure provides global source-side deduplication across all backup sources stored in it.

A backup location shows 'Storage full' warnings. Which action should be taken FIRST?

Answer: Review and tighten retention policies to trigger cleanup

Adjusting retention policies will trigger automated cleanup of old versions, reclaiming space without manual deletion.

What does the 'always incremental (single-file)' backup scheme store all backup data in?

Answer: A single ever-growing TIB file with all recovery points

The always incremental single-file scheme stores all backup data in one TIBX file, with each recovery point appended internally.

When using Acronis replication to a secondary location, what is replicated?

Answer: The entire backup archive including all versions

Replication copies the entire backup archive to the secondary destination to maintain an identical copy for DR purposes.

Which Acronis feature allows you to mount a backup as a virtual drive to browse files without full recovery?

Answer: Acronis Drive Mount (Mount Image)

The Mount Image feature lets administrators browse backup contents by mounting the archive as a virtual disk drive.

In Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud, what is the role of a 'Storage Node'?
