Read the first 7 Storage Management & Optimization flashcards as text

  1. An Acronis backup to an NAS is running slowly. Which configuration change is most likely to improve throughput?

    Answer: Increase the number of concurrent backup streams to the NAS

    Increasing concurrent backup streams allows multiple data flows simultaneously, better utilizing available NAS bandwidth and improving throughput.

  2. What is a 'synthetic full backup' in Acronis and why is it used?

    Answer: A new full backup assembled from existing incremental backups on the storage side without re-reading the source

    A synthetic full consolidates existing incrementals into a new full backup on the storage side, reducing load on the source machine and network.

  3. Which Acronis feature prevents a backup archive from being deleted or modified by ransomware or unauthorized users?

    Answer: Immutability (Notarization Lock)

    Acronis's immutability feature locks backup archives for a defined period, preventing deletion or modification by any process including ransomware.

  4. In Acronis, what does 'Instant Restore' (Run VM from backup) allow?

    Answer: Starting a VM directly from a backup archive without waiting for full data restoration

    Instant Restore boots a VM directly from the backup archive on the datastore, enabling near-zero RTO while data is optionally migrated in the background.

  5. Which compression level in Acronis typically offers the best balance between compression ratio and CPU overhead?

    Answer: Normal

    Normal compression provides a good reduction in backup size with moderate CPU usage, making it suitable for most production environments.

  6. What is the purpose of backup validation in Acronis Cyber Protect?

    Answer: To verify backup integrity by checking checksums to ensure recoverability

    Validation verifies the CRC checksums of backup data blocks to confirm the archive is uncorrupted and can be successfully restored.

  7. A company has 100TB of backup data and wants to reduce storage costs. Which Acronis feature should be evaluated first?

    Answer: Enabling global deduplication with a managed vault on Acronis Cyber Infrastructure

    Global deduplication on ACI eliminates redundant data across all sources, potentially reducing 100TB to a fraction of its original size.
