Copyright © Acronis, Inc., 2000-2010 365Cleanup consists in applying to an archive the retention rules set by the backup plan (p. 362) thatproduces the archive. This operation checks if the archive has exceeded its maximum size and/or forexpired backups. This may or may not result in deleting backups depending on whether the retentionrules are violated or not.For more information please refer to Retention rules (p. 39).Console (Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Management Console)A tool for remote or local access to Acronis agents (p. 360) and Acronis Backup & Recovery 10Management Server (p. 370).Having connected the console to the management server, the administrator sets up and managesbackup policies (p. 362) and accesses other management server functionality, that is, performscentralized management (p. 364). Using the direct console-agent connection, the administratorperforms direct management (p. 365).ConsolidationCombining two or more subsequent backups (p. 361) belonging to the same archive (p. 361) into asingle backup.Consolidation might be needed when deleting backups, either manually or during cleanup (p. 364).For example, the retention rules require to delete a full backup (p. 368) that has expired but retainthe next incremental (p. 369) one. The backups will be combined into a single full backup which willbe dated with the incremental backup's date. Since consolidation may take a lot of time and systemresources, retention rules provide an option to not delete backups with dependencies. In ourexample, the full backup will be retained until the incremental one also becomes obsolete. Then bothbackups will be deleted.DDeduplicating vaultA managed vault (p. 369) in which deduplication (p. 365) is enabled.DeduplicationA method of storing different duplicates of the same information only once.Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 can apply the deduplication technology to backup archives (p. 361)stored on storage nodes (p. 371). This minimizes storage space taken by the archives, backup trafficand network usage during backup.Differential backupA differential backup stores changes to the data against the latest full backup (p. 368). You needaccess to the corresponding full backup to recover the data from a differential backup.Direct managementAny management operation that is performed on a managed machine (p. 369) using the directconsole (p. 365)-agent (p. 360) connection (as opposed to centralized management (p. 364) when the
