You can:
1. Sort the list by Location or Owners (users and computers) by clicking on the
respective item above the list.
2. Filter out from the list all user’s or all computer’s backups (use buttons in the Filter
group).
3. Consolidate any backup (except for the oldest one in the archive) with the preceding
backup file. This operation deletes the preceding backup and sets concatenation between
the backup being consolidated and the backup before the deleted one. Thus, the archive
integrity will not be affected, in spite of the fact that one backup will be deleted. Data
recovery from any of the remaining backups will be possible.
4. Export an archive from Acronis Backup Server to a local hard drive or network share.
To do so, select any backup belonging to the archive and click Export. Then provide
name for the archive copy and a path to the location where the copy will be created.
5. Import an archive from external location to a computer’s or user’s backup location on
the backup server. To do so, use Import on the toolbar.

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

a kind of offshoots of the incremental chain. Such backups are always excluded from the

archive being imported.

4.5.7 Limiting access to Acronis Backup Server

To access the Acronis Backup Server options, connect the console to the backup server
and select Tools -> Options from the menu.
1. Maximum number of connections
This comes in handy when you want to back up a group of computers quickly and not
allow users to access the backup server at the time. Generally, limiting number of tasks
simultaneously processed by Acronis Backup Server may speed up each taken separately
backup procedure at the expense of its possible delay.
