Inheritance Of Policies - ACRONIS BACKUP AND RECOVERY 10 ADVANCED SERVER SBS EDITION - UPDATE 3 User Manual

In the diagram below, the container stands for a group; the one-color circle stands for a machine
with one applied policy; the two-color circle stands for a machine with two applied policies; the
white circle stands for a machine with no policy applied.
1. Here is the initial state: two custom groups contain different machines. A policy is applied to one
group; another policy is applied to another group. The next schemes illustrate results of the specified
actions.
2. Move to another group: Machine #3 is moved from one group to another. The "orange" policy is
revoked; the "blue" policy is applied to the machine.
3. Add to another group: Machine #3 is added to another group. It becomes a member of both
groups. The "blue" policy is applied, but the "orange" policy remains on the machine.
4. Remove from the group: Machine #3 is removed from the group. The "orange" policy is revoked
from the machine. The machine remains in the All machines group.

Inheritance of policies

Policy inheritance can be easily understood if we assume that a machine can be a member of only
one group besides the All machines group. Let's start from this simplified approach.
