Dynamic disk 

A hard disk managed by Logical Disk Manager (LDM) that is available in Windows starting with 
Windows 2000. LDM helps flexibly allocate volumes on a storage device for better fault tolerance, 
better performance or larger volume size. 

A dynamic disk can use either the master boot record (MBR) or GUID partition table (GPT) partition 
style. In addition to MBR or GPT, each dynamic disk has a hidden database where the LDM stores the 
dynamic volumes' configuration. Each dynamic disk holds the complete information about all 
dynamic volumes existing in the disk group which makes for better storage reliability. The database 
occupies the last 1MB of an MBR disk. On a GPT disk, Windows creates the dedicated LDM Metadata 
partition, taking space from the Microsoft Reserved Partition (MSR.)

Dynamic disks organized on MBR (Disk 1) and GPT (Disk 2) disks. 

For more information about dynamic disks please refer to the following Microsoft knowledge base 
articles: 

Disk Management (Windows XP Professional Resource Kit) http://technet.microsoft.com/en-
us/library/bb457110.aspx

Dynamic group 

A group of machines (p. 369) which is populated automatically by the management server (p. 370) 
according to membership criteria specified by the administrator. Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 
offers the following membership criteria:  

 

Operating system 

 

Active Directory organization unit 

 

IP address range. 

A machine remains in a dynamic group as long as the machine meets the group's criteria. The 
machine is removed from the group automatically as soon as  

 

the machine's properties change so that the machine does not meet the criteria anymore OR 

 

the administrator changes the criteria so that the machine does not meet them anymore. 

There is no way to remove a machine from a dynamic group manually except for deleting the 
machine from the management server.
