Virtual machines aredeleted as a result of their host server deletion.A backup policy (p. 362) can be applied to a built-in group.CCentralized backup planA backup plan (p. 362) that appears on the managed machine (p. 369) as a result of deploying abackup policy (p. 362) from the management server (p. 370). Such plan can be modified only byediting the backup policy.Centralized managementManagement of the Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 infrastructure through a central management unitknown as Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Management Server (p. 370). The centralized managementoperations include: creating, applying and managing backup policies (p. 362) creating and managing static (p. 371) and dynamic groups (p. 367) of machines (p. 369) managing the tasks (p. 372) existing on the machines creating and managing centralized vaults (p. 364) for storing archives managing storage nodes (p. 371) monitoring activities of the Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 components, viewing the centralizedlog and more.Centralized taskA task (p. 372) belonging to a centralized backup plan (p. 364). Such task appears on the managedmachine (p. 369) as a result of deploying a backup policy (p. 362) from the management server (p.370) and can be modified only by editing the backup policy.Centralized vaultA networked location allotted by the management server (p. 370) administrator to serve as storagefor the backup archives (p. 361). A centralized vault can be managed by a storage node (p. 371) or beunmanaged. The total number and size of archives stored in a centralized vault are limited by thestorage size only.As soon as the management server administrator creates a centralized vault, the vault name andpath to the vault are distributed to all machines registered (p. 371) on the server. The shortcut to thevault appears on the machines in the Centralized vaults list. Any backup plan (p. 362) existing on themachines, including local plans, can use the centralized vault.On a machine that is not registered on the management server, a user having the privilege to back upto the centralized vault can do so by specifying the full path to the vault. If the vault is managed, theuser's archives will be managed by the storage node as well as other archives stored in the vault.CleanupDeleting backups (p. 361) from a backup archive (p. 361) in order to get rid of outdated backups orprevent the archive from exceeding the desired size.
