Read the first 7 Storage Management & Optimization flashcards as text

  1. When configuring tiered storage in Acronis Cyber Infrastructure, what determines which data moves to a lower-cost tier?

    Answer: The age of the data and access frequency rules defined in the tiering policy

    Tiering policies in ACI move data between tiers based on configurable rules such as last-access time and data age.

  2. Which Acronis backup scheme is most efficient for minimizing the number of files managed while still supporting multiple recovery points?

    Answer: Always Incremental (Single-File) scheme

    The Always Incremental single-file scheme stores all recovery points in one TIBX container, minimizing file management complexity.

  3. What is the maximum recommended number of simultaneous backup streams to a single Acronis Storage Node to avoid performance degradation?

    Answer: It depends on the storage node hardware and configuration

    Acronis recommends sizing concurrent streams based on available CPU, RAM, and disk I/O capacity of the storage node rather than a fixed maximum.

  4. In Acronis Cyber Protect, what happens when a backup job runs and 'network throttling' is configured?

    Answer: Backup data transfer speed is limited to the configured bandwidth cap

    Network throttling caps the data transfer rate during backup, preventing backup jobs from saturating production network bandwidth.

  5. Which storage protocol is natively supported by Acronis agents for backing up directly to object storage?

    Answer: S3-compatible API

    Acronis agents support S3-compatible APIs, allowing direct backup to Amazon S3, Wasabi, MinIO, and other S3-compatible object stores.

  6. An administrator notices that catalog operations on a large Acronis vault are extremely slow. What is the most likely cause?

    Answer: The catalog database is fragmented or the vault contains millions of small files

    Large numbers of backup files or catalog database fragmentation significantly slow catalog operations like browsing and searching.

  7. Which Acronis Cyber Protect Console report helps administrators identify storage locations approaching capacity limits?

    Answer: Storage Consumption Report

    The Storage Consumption Report shows current and trending storage usage per vault, helping administrators proactively manage capacity.
