security of the archive in case the consolidation fails because of power failure or lack of
disk space.
2. On the backup server, you only can consolidate two backups in one. File name-based
consolidation keeps whichever backups you choose and deletes any backups that are not
selected.
Consolidation can be performed both using the Acronis True Image Management Console
connected to Acronis True Image Agent and with Acronis True Image for Microsoft Small
Business Server local version. The bootable program version also supports consolidation.

To consolidate backups in the archive:
1. Do one of the following:
Connect the console to the computer where Acronis True Image Agent is installed, select
Backup and Recovery tasks and click Consolidate Archive.
In Acronis True Image for Microsoft Small Business Server local version, start the Backup
Consolidation Wizard by selecting Tools -> Consolidate archive in the main
program menu.
2. Select the archive from the drives tree. The file name based consolidation does not
support Acronis Backup Server and Acronis Secure Zone, so these are not displayed in the
tree.

An archive MyBackup consisting of one full (MyBackup) and four incremental backups

(MyBackup2-5) is selected

3. The program displays a list of backups belonging to the selected archive with the
backups creation date and time. The list is similar to that in the restore wizard. The upper
backup is the full backup; the rest are incremental backups. Select the backups you want
to

keep

Editing images, mounted in R/W mode, results in creating incremental backups, that are

a kind of offshoots of the incremental chain. Therefore, they cannot be consolidated and

always will be excluded from the archive copy.
