Enterprise Scalability
Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 is designed to meet the needs of distributed network infrastructures and can scale
seamlessly to support thousands of machines. Acronis Backup & Recovery infrastructures scale by adding resources
such as disk space in the form of vaults (backup containers), and Acronis Storage Nodes to handle new backup
workload, while maintaining the ability to centrally manage the entire infrastructure. A single Acronis Backup &
Recovery 10 domain can scale up to 20 Storage Nodes with every storage node managing 20 disk/tape vaults, all
managed by one management server. Backup data is transmitted directly from the managed machines (backup
clients) to the storage nodes and saved into the vaults.
The Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Management Server
The Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Management Server is the central server that drives all data protection and
recovery activities within an enterprise. It provides a single entry point for administrators to connect from a
centralized management console and manage the entire Acronis Backup & Recovery infrastructure.
All backup policies are managed and tracked on the management server, and all backup and recovery jobs can be
executed and monitored. It maintains a list of registered Acronis Backup & Recovery Storage Nodes, vaults and
managed machines, and the respective configuration and synchronization databases.
The management server also maintains a centralized log repository that tracks the results of all activities within the
Acronis Backup & Recovery infrastructure. Reports are generated by the management server using the information
from the centralized log repository and the configuration database.
