Acronis Backup Server
This software application, when installed on a networked computer,
automatically manages backup archives and retention policies for the
specified location and ensures optimal usage of storage space. Outdated
archives will automatically be deleted as specified in the retention policies set
by the administrator. In addition, Acronis Backup Server facilitates the
creation and execution of group backup tasks.
Acronis Backup Server is shipped with Acronis True Image Echo Enterprise
Server.
We recommend you store the archives for each task in separate locations to avoid
confusion during recovery.
Note, the further you store the backup archive from the original location, the safer it
will be in case of data damage. For example, saving the archive to another hard disk
will protect your data if the primary disk is damaged. Data saved to a network disk or
backup server will survive even if all your local hard disks are down.
Select the desired archive location from the folders tree or specify a backup location in
the Folder field.
In case you have chosen an ftp server as a backup location, provide login and
password for this server in a special pop-up window which appears after you select this
item from the tree.
