Note: If you plan to use Acronis Backup Gateway to store backups in the cloud, make sure the
local storage cluster has plenty of logical space for staging (keeping backups locally before sending
them to the cloud). For example, if you perform backups daily, provide enough space for at least
1.5 days’ worth of backups. For more details, see the Administrator’s Guide.
A dual-core CPU.
4GB RAM.
1Gbps network interface. It is recommended to use static IP addresses. You can also use the same
network interface for both internal and external traffic (but you are advised to configure secure
networking later).
