- Activity summary report
- Storage usage report (Correct answer)
- Vulnerability assessment report
- Audit trail report
Correct answer: Storage usage report
The storage usage report details how much backup storage each tenant or customer is consuming, useful for billing and capacity planning.

- Backup status metrics
- Hardware health metrics
- Machine resource metrics (Correct answer)
- License compliance metrics
Correct answer: Machine resource metrics
Disk space monitoring is classified under machine resource metrics, which track OS-level resources like disk, CPU, and RAM.
Question 3: What happens to active alerts in Acronis Cyber Protect when the underlying issue that caused the alert is resolved?
- Alerts remain active until manually dismissed by an administrator
- Alerts are automatically cleared once the condition is no longer met (Correct answer)
- Alerts escalate to Critical if not acknowledged within 24 hours
- Alerts are permanently deleted from the audit log
Correct answer: Alerts are automatically cleared once the condition is no longer met
Acronis automatically clears active alerts when the triggering condition resolves, reducing manual overhead for administrators.

Correct answer: STARTTLS on port 587
Port 587 is the standard submission port that uses STARTTLS to upgrade a plain connection to an encrypted one.
Question 5: An engineer notices that alert emails are being generated but not received. The SMTP test in Acronis Cyber Protect succeeds. What is the most likely cause?

- By querying the audit log for agent installation events
Correct answer: By reviewing the Protection Status widget or running a protection status report
The Protection Status widget and related reports display antimalware definition update status for all managed machines.
