R

Recovery point

Date and time to which the backed up data can be reverted to.

Registered machine

A machine (p. 356) managed by a management server (p. 357). A machine can be registered on only
one management server at a time. A machine becomes registered as a result of the registration (p.
358) procedure.
Registration
A procedure that adds a managed machine (p. 356) to a management server (p. 357).
Registration sets up a trust relationship between the agent (p. 347) residing on the machine and the
server. During registration, the console retrieves the management server's client certificate and
passes it to the agent which uses it later to authenticate clients attempting to connect. This helps
prevent any attempts by network attackers from establishing a fake connection on behalf of a
trusted principal (the management server).
S

Selection rule

A part of the backup policy (p. 349). Enables the management server (p. 357) administrator to select
the data to back up within a machine.

Static group

A group of machines which a management server (p. 357) administrator populates by manually
adding machines to the group. A machine remains in a static group until the administrator removes it
from the group or from the management server.
Storage node (Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Storage Node)
A server aimed to optimize usage of various resources required for protection of enterprise data. This
goal is achieved by organizing managed vaults (p. 356). Storage node enables the administrator to:

relieve managed machines (p. 356) of unnecessary CPU load by using the storage node-side
cleanup (p. 358) and storage node-side validation (p. 359)

drastically reduce backup traffic and storage space taken by the archives (p. 348) by using
deduplication (p. 352)

prevent access to the backup archives, even in case the storage medium is stolen or accessed by
a malefactor, by using encrypted vaults (p. 355).

Storage node-side cleanup

Cleanup (p. 351) performed by a storage node (p. 358) according to the backup plans (p. 349) that
produce the archives (p. 348) stored in a managed vault (p. 356). Being an alternative to the agent-
side cleanup (p. 348), the cleanup on the storage node side relieves the production servers of
unnecessary CPU load.
