ACE Bare Metal Recovery & System Restore 3

Question 1

What is the primary advantage of creating Acronis Bootable Media with WinPE rather than Linux-based media for enterprise environments?

Accepted Answer

WinPE media supports a broader range of Windows hardware drivers and Windows domain network authentication

Answer

Linux-based media cannot perform bare metal recovery of Windows systems

Answer

WinPE media is required to restore any Linux server using Acronis

Answer

WinPE media loads significantly faster and uses less RAM than Linux-based media

Question 2

After bare metal recovery with Acronis to dissimilar hardware, a Windows system requires re-activation. What is the most likely cause?

Accepted Answer

Windows activation detected significant hardware changes and requires re-validation of the license

Answer

The Acronis bootable media version was incompatible with the backup format used

Answer

The backup was created using an expired Acronis Cyber Protect license

Answer

Universal Restore was not enabled during the recovery, corrupting the activation data

Question 3

When using Acronis to recover a Windows system volume that was protected with BitLocker encryption, what must the administrator provide during recovery?

Accepted Answer

The BitLocker recovery key or BitLocker password for the encrypted volume

Answer

The Acronis backup encryption passphrase configured at backup time

Answer

Windows domain administrator credentials to unlock volume access

Answer

The TPM PIN code combined with the Acronis agent certificate

Question 4

Which Acronis feature automatically tests whether backups can be successfully recovered without requiring manual administrator intervention?

Accepted Answer

Acronis Backup Validation (automated recovery verification)

Answer

Acronis Notarization blockchain verification

Answer

Acronis Deduplication Engine integrity scan

Answer

Acronis Storage Node replication health check

Question 5

When performing bare metal recovery of a Windows Server Failover Cluster using Acronis, what is the recommended restoration sequence?

Accepted Answer

Restore nodes sequentially with priority given to restoring the quorum disk first

Answer

Restore all cluster nodes simultaneously using parallel recovery tasks for speed

Answer

Restore only the active node — passive nodes automatically rejoin and self-recover

Answer

Cluster environments require manual data recovery and cannot use Acronis bare metal restore

Question 6

In Acronis Cyber Protect, what is a 'recovery point' in the context of bare metal recovery?

Accepted Answer

A specific timestamped backup version representing the system's state at that point in time

Answer

The physical network location where backup storage appliances are deployed

Answer

The maximum number of retained restore versions before automated backup rotation occurs

Answer

The network endpoint address used by bootable media to reach the backup repository

Question 7

What is the effect of enabling 'sector-by-sector' backup mode in Acronis when preparing for bare metal recovery?

Accepted Answer

All disk sectors including empty unallocated ones are captured, increasing backup file size

Answer

Only sectors that changed since the last backup are captured, reducing backup size

Answer

Each sector is individually encrypted using AES-256 for enhanced security during backup

Answer

Bad sectors are automatically repaired and remapped during the backup creation process
