Managed vault
A centralized vault (p. 401) managed by a storage node (p. 408). Archives (p. 398) in a managed vault
can be accessed as follows:
bsp://node_address/vault_name/archive_name/
Physically, managed vaults can reside on a network share, SAN, NAS, on a hard drive local to the
storage node or on a tape library locally attached to the storage node. The storage node performs
storage node-side cleanup (p. 409) and storage node-side validation (p. 409) for each archive stored
in the managed vault. An administrator can specify additional operations that the storage node will
perform (deduplication (p. 402), encryption).
Any managed vault is self-contained, that is, contains all metadata the storage node needs to
manage the vault. In case the storage node is lost or its database is corrupted, the new storage node
retrieves the metadata and re-creates the database. When the vault is attached to another storage
node, the same procedure takes place.
Management server (Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Management Server)
A central server that drives data protection within the enterprise network. Acronis Backup &
Recovery 10 Management Server provides the administrator with:
a single entry point to the Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 infrastructure
an easy way to protect data on numerous machines (p. 406) using backup policies (p. 399) and
grouping
enterprise-wide monitoring functionality
the ability to create centralized vaults (p. 401) for storing enterprise backup archives (p. 398)
the ability to manage storage nodes (p. 408).
If there are multiple management servers on the network, they operate independently, manage
different machines and use different centralized vaults for storing archives.
Media builder
A dedicated tool for creating bootable media (p. 400).
P
Personal vault
A local or networked vault (p. 410) created using direct management (p. 402). Once a personal vault
is created, a shortcut to it appears under the
Personal vaults
item of the
Navigation
pane. Multiple
machines can use the same physical location; for example, a network share; as a personal vault.
Physical machine
On Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Management Server, a physical machine is the same as a
registered machine (p. 408). A virtual machine is considered physical if an Acronis Backup & Recovery
10 agent is installed on the machine and the machine is registered on the management server.
