Specifications

We recommend you to store the archives of each task in a separate location to avoid

confusion during recovery.

Acronis Recovery for MS SQL Server supports the following places and media for backup

destinations:

• Acronis Backup Server (shipped with Acronis True Image Echo™ Enterprise

Server, when installed on a networked computer it automatically manages backup

archives and retention policies for the specified location and ensures optimal

usage of storage space. Outdated archives will automatically be deleted as

specified in the retention policies set by the administrator. In addition, Acronis

Backup Server facilitates the creation and execution of group backup tasks.);

• Local HDD;

• Network shares, SAN, NAS;

• FTP;

• Tape drives, Autoloaders, Tape libraries.

Select the desired archive location from the folders tree or specify a backup location in the

Folder field.

Unsupported Acronis Backup Server versions will not be displayed in the Acronis

Backup Servers list. To provide compatibility with Acronis Recovery for MS SQL Server,

install the up-to-date version from:

http://www.acronis.com/enterprise/download/ATIBS.

Mapped network drives are not displayed in the Folders tree.

Acronis Recovery for MS SQL Server guarantees integrity of a backup chain only in a

separate archive. Thus, creation of a new archive will start a new chain of backups.

Acronis Recovery for MS SQL Server behavior does not depend on what you want to

back up (the entire database or only a separate filegroup). Transaction logs are

truncated before creating such a chain to decrease the archive size and duration of

the backup operation.
