In Acronis Cyber Protect, which log provides a record of all administrative actions performed in the management console, such as policy changes and user logins?
Answer: Audit log
The audit log captures all administrative actions including login events, policy modifications, and configuration changes for compliance and forensics.
When configuring alert escalation in Acronis, what is the purpose of setting a 'reminder' interval on a notification rule?
Answer: To repeat the alert email at defined intervals if the issue remains unresolved
A reminder interval causes Acronis to resend the alert notification repeatedly at the configured frequency until the underlying issue is resolved.
Which Acronis Cyber Protect monitoring capability can detect that a protected machine has been offline and unreachable by the management server for an extended period?
Answer: Agent connectivity monitoring with 'machine offline' alert
Agent connectivity monitoring tracks heartbeat signals from agents and triggers a 'machine offline' alert when a machine stops reporting within the configured timeout.
An engineer needs to generate a weekly report showing which machines had backup failures during the past 7 days. Which Acronis feature is best suited for this?
Answer: Scheduled reports configured to email a backup status summary weekly
Acronis allows administrators to schedule automated reports that summarize backup outcomes over a defined period and deliver them via email.
In Acronis Cyber Protect, what does a 'Yellow' (warning) disk health status from S.M.A.R.T. monitoring indicate?
Answer: The disk is showing early signs of potential failure but is still operational
A yellow S.M.A.R.T. status indicates one or more attributes are outside normal ranges, suggesting early degradation before complete failure occurs.
Which alert type in Acronis Cyber Protect notifies administrators when a machine's backup has been excluded from protection plans or has no plan assigned?
Answer: Unprotected machine alert
The unprotected machine alert identifies endpoints registered in the console that have no active backup or protection plan assigned to them.
A company requires that all Acronis alert notifications be routed through their internal SIEM system. Which integration method should an ACE engineer implement?
Answer: Use the Acronis RESTful API to poll alerts and forward them to the SIEM via a custom connector
The Acronis RESTful API enables custom connectors to programmatically retrieve alerts and forward them to a SIEM in near real-time.
