Glossary - ACRONIS BACKUP AND RECOVERY 10 SERVER FOR WINDOWS - UPDATE 3 User Manual

8 Glossary

A
Acronis Active Restore
The Acronis proprietary technology that brings a system online immediately after the system
recovery is started. The system boots from the backup (p. 233) and the machine becomes
operational and ready to provide necessary services. The data required to serve incoming requests is
recovered with the highest priority; everything else is recovered in the background. Limitations:

the backup must be located on the local drive (any device available through the BIOS except for
network boot)
 does not work with Linux images.
Acronis Plug-in for WinPE
A modification of Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Agent for Windows that can run in the
preinstallation environment. The plug-in can be added to a WinPE (p. 241) image using Bootable
Media Builder. The resulting bootable media (p. 230) can be used to boot any PC-compatible
machine and perform, with certain limitations, most of the direct management (p. 232) operations
without help of an operating system. Operations can be configured and controlled either locally
through the GUI or remotely using the console (p. 232).
Acronis Secure Zone
A secure volume for storing backup archives (p. 228) within a managed machine (p. 236).
Advantages:

enables recovery of a disk to the same disk where the disk's backup resides
 offers a cost-effective and handy method for protecting data from software malfunction, virus
attack, operator error

eliminates the need for a separate media or network connection to back up or recover the data.
This is especially useful for mobile users

can serve as the primary location for dual destination backup.
Limitations: Acronis Secure Zone cannot be organized on a dynamic disk (p. 234) or a disk using the
GPT partitioning style. Backup to Acronis Secure Zone is not possible when working under bootable
media or Acronis Startup Recovery Manager.
Acronis Secure Zone is considered as a personal vault (p. 237).
Acronis Startup Recovery Manager (ASRM)
A modification of the bootable agent (p. 230), residing on the system disk and configured to start at
boot time when F11 is pressed. Acronis Startup Recovery Manager eliminates the need for rescue
media or network connection to start the bootable rescue utility.
Acronis Startup Recovery Manager is especially useful for mobile users. If a failure occurs, the user
reboots the machine, hits F11 on prompt "Press F11 for Acronis Startup Recovery Manager..." and
performs data recovery in the same way as with ordinary bootable media.
