ACE Storage Management & Optimization 3

Question 1

What is the effect of enabling 'source-side deduplication' in Acronis?

Accepted Answer

Duplicate data blocks are removed on the agent before transmission, reducing network load

Answer

Source-side deduplication identifies and eliminates duplicate blocks at the agent level before transmitting data, saving both bandwidth and storage.

Question 2

An administrator needs to ensure backups survive a datacenter failure. Which Acronis storage feature best supports this?

Accepted Answer

Offsite replication to a remote location

Answer

Offsite replication sends backup copies to a geographically separate location, protecting against datacenter-level disasters.

Question 3

Which file system format does Acronis recommend for backup storage volumes on Windows to maximize performance?

Accepted Answer

ReFS

Answer

ReFS (Resilient File System) is recommended for Acronis backup storage on Windows Server 2016+ due to its integrity streams and faster large-file handling.

Question 4

What happens to a backup chain if a full backup is deleted from an Acronis archive that also contains dependent incremental backups?

Accepted Answer

The entire chain becomes unrecoverable until a new full backup is made

Answer

Incremental backups depend on their parent full backup; deleting the full backup breaks the chain and makes dependent incrementals unusable.

Question 5

In Acronis Cyber Infrastructure, what is 'erasure coding' used for?

Accepted Answer

Distributing data and parity across nodes to allow recovery from node failures

Answer

Erasure coding in ACI splits data into fragments and distributes parity chunks across nodes, allowing data reconstruction if nodes fail.
