Differential backup version
A differential backup version stores changes
to the data against the latest full backup
version (p. 141). You need access to the
corresponding full backup version to recover
the data from a differential backup version.
Disk backup (Image)
A backup (p. 140) that contains a sector-based
copy of a disk or a partition in packaged form.
Normally, only sectors that contain data are
copied. Acronis Small Office Backup provides
an option to take a raw image, that is, copy all
the disk sectors, which enables imaging of
unsupported file systems.
F
Full backup
1. A backup method that is used to save all
the data selected to back up.
2. A backup process that creates a full
backup version (p. 141).
Full backup version
A self-sufficient backup version (p. 140)
containing all data chosen for backup. You do
not need access to any other backup version
to recover the data from a full backup version.
I
Image
The same as Disk backup (p. 141).
Incremental backup
1. A backup method used for saving data
changes that occurred since the last
backup version (p. 140) (of any type)
within a backup.
2. A backup process that creates an
incremental backup version (p. 141).
Incremental backup version
A backup version (p. 140) that stores changes
to the data against the latest backup version.
You need access to other backup versions
from the same backup (p. 140) to restore data
from an incremental backup version.
O
Online backup
Online backup - a backup that is created using
Acronis Online Backup. Online backups are
stored in a special storage named Acronis
Cloud, accessible over the Internet. The main
advantage of an online backup is that all
backups are stored on the remote location. It
gives a guarantee that all backed up data will
be safe independently of a user local storages.
To begin to use Acronis Cloud a user should
subscribe to the service.
R
Recovery
Recovery is a process of returning of a
corrupted data to a previous normal state
from a backup (p. 140).
V
Validation
An operation that checks whether you will be
able to recover data from a particular backup
version (p. 140).
When you select for validation…

a full backup version (p. 141) - the
program validates the full backup version
only.

a differential backup version (p. 140) - the
program validates the initial full backup
version and the selected differential
backup version.

an incremental backup version (p. 141) -
the program validates the initial full
backup version, the selected incremental
backup version, and the whole chain (if
