ACE Network & Connectivity Management Flashcards

When configuring Acronis agents in a high-availability cluster, what network requirement is most critical?

Answer: All cluster nodes must have consistent access to the management server and backup storage

High-availability clusters require every node to have consistent network access to both the management server and backup storage so failover operates seamlessly.

What protocol do Acronis agents use to register with the management server?

Answer: HTTPS REST API

Acronis agents register with the management server using HTTPS REST API calls, ensuring secure and standardized communication.

How does Acronis Cyber Protect handle management commands for agents that are temporarily offline?

Answer: Queues commands and applies them when the agent reconnects

Acronis queues pending management commands for offline agents and automatically executes them once the agent reestablishes its connection to the server.

Which Acronis capability primarily optimizes WAN bandwidth usage for remote office backups?

Answer: Data compression and deduplication

Acronis reduces the volume of data transmitted over WAN links through compression and deduplication, significantly lowering bandwidth requirements for remote office backups.

How does Acronis Cyber Protect manage agent connectivity when the server's IP address changes?

Answer: Agents can use DNS-based server discovery to locate the updated server address

Acronis supports DNS-based server discovery, allowing agents to automatically resolve the updated management server address without manual reconfiguration.

What is the purpose of configuring a network bandwidth window in Acronis backup plans?

Answer: To restrict backup data transfer to specific time periods to avoid impacting business operations

A bandwidth window restricts data transfer to designated time periods, ensuring backup traffic does not compete with business-critical network activity during peak hours.
