ACE Backup Scheduling & Automation 3

Question 1

What Acronis technology enables backup jobs to run without significant impact on production workloads by limiting resource usage?

Accepted Answer

Throttling

Answer

Throttling in Acronis limits CPU and network bandwidth consumption during backup to reduce impact on production systems.

Question 2

In Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud, which object allows MSPs to apply one backup plan to hundreds of devices simultaneously?

Accepted Answer

Protection plan

Answer

A Protection Plan in Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud can be applied to device groups, automating consistent coverage across many endpoints.

Question 3

What happens to a differential backup chain in Acronis if the base full backup is deleted?

Accepted Answer

The entire differential chain becomes unrestorable

Answer

Differential backups depend on the base full backup for restoration; deleting the full backup invalidates the entire chain.

Question 4

Which Acronis scheduler option ensures that backups across multiple devices do not all start simultaneously, avoiding storage bottlenecks?

Accepted Answer

Randomize backup start time

Answer

Randomizing backup start times spreads backup jobs across a time window to prevent simultaneous storage hits.

Question 5

An Acronis protection plan is set to run incremental backups every 4 hours. What is the maximum potential data loss (RPO) in this configuration?

Accepted Answer

Up to 4 hours

Answer

With 4-hour incremental intervals, up to 4 hours of data can be lost if a failure occurs just before the next backup.
