Activate a subscription

Allow the machine to use the cloud storage according to the subscription.

Activated subscription

A subscription that is currently being used by a machine.

Assign a subscription to a machine

Reserve a subscription for a particular machine in order to renew (p. 36) its current subscription.

Assigned subscription

A subscription that has been assigned (p. 35) to a machine.

Available subscription

A subscription that is not assigned to any machine.

Extra service

A service that you can use in addition to cloud backup subscriptions (p. 36).

Increase storage quota

Replace a subscription (p. 36) with another one that has a greater storage quota. The remaining
subscription period (p. 36) is reduced in proportion to the capacity increase.

Initial Seeding

An extra service (p. 35) that enables you to save an initial full backup locally and then send it to
Acronis on a hard disk drive. Acronis uploads the backup to the cloud storage. After that, you can add
incremental backups to this full backup, either manually or on a schedule.

The Initial Seeding service might be unavailable in your region. To find more information, click here:
