Replenishable pool
A tape pool that is allowed to take tapes from the Free tapes pool when required.
Replication
Copying a backup (p. 199) to another location. By default, the backup is copied immediately after
creation. A user has the option to postpone copying the backup by setting up replication inactivity
time.
This feature replaces and enhances the dual destination backup feature, which was available in
Acronis Backup & Recovery 10.
Retention rules
A part of backup plan (p. 199) that specifies when and how to delete or move the backups (p. 199)
created by the plan.
S
Single-pass backup
A single-pass backup (aka application-aware backup) is a disk backup containing metadata of
VSS-aware applications that are present on the disk. This metadata enables browsing and recovery of
the backed-up application data without recovering the entire disk or volume.
Static group
A group of machines which a management server (p. 207) administrator populates by manually
adding machines to the group. A machine remains in a static group until the administrator removes it
from the group or from the management server.
Storage node (Acronis Backup Storage Node)
A server aimed to optimize usage of various resources required for protection of enterprise data. This
goal is achieved by organizing managed vaults (p. 207). Storage Node enables the administrator to:

use a single centralized catalog (p. 202) of data stored in the managed vaults

relieve managed machines (p. 207) of unnecessary CPU load by performing cleanup (p. 202),
validation (p. 210) and other operations with backup archives (p. 199) which otherwise would be
performed by agents (p. 199)

drastically reduce backup traffic and storage space taken by the archives (p. 199) by using
deduplication (p. 203)

prevent access to the backup archives, even in case the storage medium is stolen or accessed by
a malefactor, by using encrypted vaults (p. 205).
T
Task
A set of actions to be performed by Acronis Backup at a certain time or event. The actions are
described in a non human-readable service file. The time or event (schedule) is stored in the
protected registry keys (in Windows) or on the file system (in Linux).
