The following will give you the first idea of Acronis Backup Server. For information on how to
install Acronis Backup Server see
2.1.4 Acronis Backup Server installation and setup
. For
information on how to manage Acronis Backup Server see
4.5 Managing backup server
.
3.5.1 Backup locations, their quotas and time limits
Backup server is a networked computer where Acronis Backup Server is installed. A backup
location is an automatically managed storage area for backups on a backup server local hard
disk. An administrator can organize one or more backup locations and set the overall
limitations to size/storage time for every location, i.e. quotas and time limits. An
administrator can move, clear or delete existing backup locations or edit their quotas and
time limits.
3.5.2 Quotas and time limits for computers and users
Individual quotas and time limits determine every computer’s or user’s quota on a backup
server. This include
1) maximum storage space, allocated to a user/computer, in MB, GB or TB
2) maximum number of backups
3) maximum number of incremental backups for each full backup
4) maximum storage period for the user’s/computer’s backups.
These values define how Acronis Backup Server itself will handle the backup archives.
At first backup of the computer/user’s data to the backup server, a full backup will be
created. The next backups will be incremental, until the maximum number of incremental
backups is reached. Then again a full backup and a set of subsequent incremental backups is
created, then again a full backup and so on.
As appears from the above, when backing up to backup server, a user cannot select backup
mode (full, incremental, differential). The backup mode will be set by Acronis Backup Server.
When number of backups, storage space or storage period for some backups exceeds the
preset value, Acronis Backup Server will combine the first full backup with the next
incremental one into one full backup which will be dated the later backup date. Then, if
necessary, this backup will be combined with the next, until the occupied storage space (or
number of backups) decreases to the limitation. Thus, the archive integrity will not be
affected, in spite of the fact that the most old backups will be deleted. This procedure is
called
automatic consolidation
.
An administrator can run a check of meeting the limitations on a schedule (once, daily,
weekly or monthly). All user’s/computers archives on the backup server will be checked and,
if some quota or storage period for some backups is exceeded, the above processing will be
executed.
3.5.3 Administrator profiles and User profiles
Profile is a set of parameters, assigned to each computer and user that backs up on the
backup server. Profile includes the backup location and the above limitations. When an
administrator adds a new computer or user to Acronis Backup Server database, they are
assigned the default backup location, quotas and time limits. An administrator then can
change these settings by editing the respective profile.
