218 Copyright © Acronis, Inc., 2000-2009Managed vaultA centralized vault (p. 212) managed by a storage node (p. 219). Archives (p. 209) in a managed vaultcan be accessed as follows:bsp://node_address/vault_name/archive_name/Physically, managed vaults can reside on a network share, SAN, NAS, on a hard drive local to thestorage node or on a tape library locally attached to the storage node. The storage node performsstorage node-side cleanup (p. 220) and storage node-side validation (p. 220) for each archive storedin the managed vault. An administrator can specify additional operations that the storage node willperform (deduplication (p. 213), encryption).Any managed vault is self-contained, that is, contains all metadata the storage node needs to managethe vault. In case the storage node is lost or its database is corrupted, the new storage node retrievesthe metadata and re-creates the database. When the vault is attached to another storage node, thesame procedure takes place.Management server (Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Management Server)A central server that drives data protection within the enterprise network. Acronis Backup &Recovery 10 Management Server provides the administrator with:• a single entry point to the Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 infrastructure• an easy way to protect data on numerous machines (p. 217) using backup policies (p. 210) andgrouping• enterprise-wide monitoring functionality• the ability to create centralized vaults (p. 212) for storing enterprise backup archives (p. 209)• the ability to manage storage nodes (p. 219).If there are multiple management servers on the network, they operate independently, managedifferent machines and use different centralized vaults for storing archives.Media builderA dedicated tool for creating bootable media (p. 211).PPersonal vaultA local or networked vault (p. 221) created using direct management (p. 214). Once a personal vaultis created, a shortcut to it appears under the Personal vaults item of the Navigation pane. Multiplemachines can use the same physical location; for example, a network share; as a personal vault.Physical machineOn Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Management Server, a physical machine is the same as a registeredmachine (p. 219). A virtual machine is considered physical if an Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 agent isinstalled on the machine and the machine is registered on the management server.
