✍️ Sample ACE Questions & Answers
1. An administrator needs to configure Acronis Cyber Protect to send email alerts when a backup fails. Where is this configured?
Email notifications are configured globally under Settings > Notifications, where administrators define the SMTP server and alert conditions.
2. When backing up VMware vSphere virtual machines in agentless mode, which VMware API does Acronis Cyber Protect leverage?
Acronis uses VMware VADP to perform agentless backup of vSphere VMs, enabling snapshot-based backups without installing agents inside each guest OS.
3. Which Acronis security protocol prevents a backup agent from being spoofed by a rogue server on the same network segment?
Certificate pinning ensures that even if a rogue server presents a valid-looking certificate, the agent rejects it unless the fingerprint matches the pinned expected value from initial trusted registration.
4. Which Acronis recovery option allows an administrator to extract specific files from a full disk-level backup without restoring the entire image?
Granular recovery allows administrators to browse a disk-level backup and restore only selected files or folders rather than the entire disk image.
5. What type of Acronis report helps administrators analyze backup job success rates over a defined period?
The Acronis backup statistics report displays job success rates, failure counts, and trends over a configurable time period.
6. What happens to an Acronis Agent's backup operations if it loses connectivity to the Management Server during an active backup job?
Acronis Agents operate autonomously and will complete a running backup job even if the management server connection is lost, syncing status upon reconnection.
