security of the archive in case the consolidation fails because of power failure or lack of

disk space.

2. On the backup server, you only can consolidate two backups in one. File name-based

consolidation keeps whichever backups you choose and deletes any backups that are not

selected.

Consolidation can be performed both using the Acronis True Image Management Console

connected to Acronis True Image Agent and with Acronis True Image Echo Enterprise

Server local version. The bootable program version also supports consolidation.

To consolidate backups in the archive:

1. Do one of the following:

Connect the console to the computer where Acronis True Image Agent is installed, select

Backup and Recovery tasks and click Consolidate Archive.

In Acronis True Image Echo Enterprise Server local version, start the Backup

Consolidation Wizard by selecting Tools -> Consolidate archive in the main

program menu.

2. Select the archive from the drives tree. The file name based consolidation does not

support Acronis Backup Server and Acronis Secure Zone, so these are not displayed in the

tree.

An archive MyBackup consisting of one full (MyBackup) and four incremental backups

(MyBackup2-5) is selected

3. The program displays a list of backups belonging to the selected archive with the

backups creation date and time. The list is similar to that in the restore wizard. The upper

backup is the full backup; the rest are incremental backups. Select the backups you want

keep

Editing images, mounted in R/W mode, results in creating incremental backups, that are

a kind of offshoots of the incremental chain. Therefore, they cannot be consolidated and

always will be excluded from the archive copy.
