Personal vault

A local or networked vault (p. 250) created using direct management (p. 242). Once a personal vault

is created, a shortcut to it appears on the managed machine in the Vaults list. Multiple machines can

use the same physical location; for example, a network share; as a personal vault.

Plan

See Backup plan (p. 239).

Recovery point

Date and time to which the backed up data can be reverted.

Registered machine

A machine (p. 247) managed by a management server (p. 247). A machine can be registered on only

one management server at a time. A machine becomes registered as a result of the registration (p.

248) procedure.

Registration

A procedure that adds a managed machine (p. 247) to a management server (p. 247).

Registration sets up a trust relationship between the agent (p. 238) residing on the machine and the

server. During registration, the console retrieves the management server's client certificate and

passes it to the agent which uses it later to authenticate clients attempting to connect. This helps

prevent any attempts by network attackers from establishing a fake connection on behalf of a

trusted principal (the management server).

Replenishable pool

A tape pool that is allowed to take tapes from the Free tapes pool when required.

Replication

Copying a backup (p. 238) to another location. By default, the backup is copied immediately after

creation. A user has the option to postpone copying the backup by setting up replication inactivity

time.

This feature replaces and enhances the dual destination backup feature, which was available in

Acronis Backup & Recovery 10.

Retention rules

A part of backup plan (p. 239) that specifies when and how to delete or move the backups (p. 238)

created by the plan.
