ACE Installation, Configuration & Integration 3 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: An Acronis administrator wants to integrate Acronis Cyber Protect with Microsoft Azure AD for single sign-on. Which configuration section in the web console is used?
- Settings > Notifications > Identity Providers
- Settings > Security > SAML Configuration (Correct answer)
- Settings > Acronis Agents > Federation
- Settings > Users > SSO
Correct answer: Settings > Security > SAML Configuration
SAML-based single sign-on with Azure AD is configured under Settings > Security > SAML Configuration in the Acronis web console.
Question 2: When deploying Acronis Agent remotely via the web console's 'Add devices' wizard, which network requirement must be met?
- The target machine must have port 445 (SMB) accessible from the management server (Correct answer)
- The management server must be able to reach the target on port 9877 only
- The target machine must initiate all connections to the management server
- IPv6 must be enabled on both the management server and the target machine
Correct answer: The target machine must have port 445 (SMB) accessible from the management server
Remote agent deployment via the web console requires SMB (port 445) to be accessible on the target machine from the management server.
Question 3: Which database engine does Acronis Cyber Protect Management Server use internally by default to store its configuration and metadata?
- Microsoft SQL Server Express
- PostgreSQL (Correct answer)
- SQLite
- MySQL Community Edition
Correct answer: PostgreSQL
Acronis Cyber Protect Management Server uses PostgreSQL as its default internal database for configuration and metadata storage.
Question 4: A technician is configuring an Acronis Backup Gateway to provide S3-compatible object storage. After installation, what must be done to make the gateway available to the management server?
- Reboot the management server to trigger automatic gateway discovery
- Register the Backup Gateway with the management server by providing its address and credentials (Correct answer)
- Install a secondary agent on the gateway node pointing to the management server
- Enable the S3 integration flag in the Acronis global configuration file
Correct answer: Register the Backup Gateway with the management server by providing its address and credentials
The Backup Gateway must be explicitly registered with the management server by providing its address and admin credentials in the web console.
Question 5: What is the purpose of the Acronis Cyber Protect bootable media builder?
- To create a WinPE or Linux-based bootable environment for bare-metal recovery (Correct answer)
- To build a custom Acronis agent installer package for offline deployment
- To generate encrypted USB keys for management server authentication
- To create a bootable update disc for Acronis Management Server upgrades
Correct answer: To create a WinPE or Linux-based bootable environment for bare-metal recovery
The bootable media builder creates WinPE or Linux-based rescue media used to perform bare-metal recovery when the OS cannot boot.
Question 6: When installing Acronis Cyber Protect on a machine with an existing Acronis True Image installation, what is the recommended procedure?
- Install Acronis Cyber Protect alongside True Image — both can coexist
- Uninstall Acronis True Image first, then install Acronis Cyber Protect (Correct answer)
- Use the migration wizard inside Acronis True Image to upgrade in place
- Disable True Image's background service before running the Cyber Protect installer
Correct answer: Uninstall Acronis True Image first, then install Acronis Cyber Protect
Acronis True Image must be uninstalled before installing Acronis Cyber Protect because the two products cannot coexist on the same machine.
Question 7: Which Acronis configuration allows administrators to specify that agents communicate with the management server through an intermediate proxy machine?
- Routing Policy in the Acronis Firewall settings
- Agent-to-server tunneling via SSH port forwarding
- Acronis Cyber Protect Update Server acting as a relay
- The 'Connect through a gateway' option using an Acronis Gateway server (Correct answer)
Correct answer: The 'Connect through a gateway' option using an Acronis Gateway server
Acronis provides a Gateway Server component that agents can connect through, enabling communication with the management server across network boundaries.
