Managed vault
A centralized vault (p. 264) managed by a storage node (p. 271). Archives (p. 261) 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
cleanup (p. 264) and validation (p. 272) for each archive stored in the managed vault. An
administrator can specify additional operations that the storage node will perform (deduplication (p.
265), encryption).
Management server (Acronis Backup Management Server)
A central server that drives data protection within the enterprise network. Acronis Backup
Management Server provides the administrator with:
a single entry point to the Acronis Backup infrastructure
an easy way to protect data on numerous machines (p. 269) using centralized backup plans (p.
263) and grouping
enterprise-wide monitoring and reporting functionality
the ability to create centralized vaults (p. 264) for storing enterprise backup archives (p. 261)
the ability to manage storage nodes (p. 271)
the centralized catalog (p. 265) of all data stored on the storage nodes.
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. 262).
P
Personal vault
A local or networked vault (p. 272) created using direct management (p. 265). Once a personal vault
is created, a shortcut to it appears on the managed machine in the Vaults list. Multiple machines can
use the same physical location; for example, a network share; as a personal vault.
Plan
See Backup plan (p. 262).
R
Recovery point
Date and time to which the backed-up data can be reverted.
