3. The management server deploys the policy to the machines.

4. On each machine, the agent (p. 382) installed on the machine finds data items using the selection

rules. For example, if the selection rule is [All volumes], the entire machine will be backed up.

5. On each machine, the agent installed on the machine creates a backup plan (p. 383) using other

rules specified by the policy. Such backup plan is called a centralized plan (p. 385).

6. On each machine, the agent installed on the machine creates a set of centralized tasks (p. 385)

that will carry out the plan.

Backup scheme

A part of the backup plan (p. 383) that includes the backup schedule and [optionally] the retention

rules and the cleanup (p. 386) schedule. For example: perform full backup (p. 390) monthly on the

last day of the month at 10:00AM and incremental backup (p. 390) on Sundays at 10:00PM. Delete

backups that are older than 3 months. Check for such backups every time the backup operation is

completed.

Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 provides the ability to use well-known optimized backup schemes,

such as GFS (p. 390) and Tower of Hanoi (p. 393), to create a custom backup scheme or back up data

once.

Bootable agent

A bootable rescue utility that includes most of the functionality of the Acronis Backup & Recovery 10

Agent (p. 382). Bootable agent is based on Linux kernel. A machine (p. 390) can be booted into a

bootable agent using either bootable media (p. 384) or Acronis PXE Server. Operations can be

configured and controlled either locally through the GUI or remotely using the console (p. 386).

Bootable media

A physical media (CD, DVD, USB flash drive or other media supported by a machine (p. 390) BIOS as a

boot device) that contains the bootable agent (p. 384) or Windows Preinstallation Environment

(WinPE) (p. 395) with the Acronis Plug-in for WinPE (p. 381). A machine can also be booted into the

above environments using the network boot from Acronis PXE Server or Microsoft Remote

Installation Service (RIS). These servers with uploaded bootable components can also be thought of

as a kind of bootable media.

Bootable media is most often used to:

• recover an operating system that cannot start

• access and back up the data that has survived in a corrupted system

• deploy an operating system on bare metal

• create basic or dynamic volumes (p. 389) on bare metal

• back up sector-by-sector a disk that has an unsupported file system

• back up offline any data that cannot be backed up online because of restricted access, being

permanently locked by the running applications or for any other reason.

Built-in group

A group of machines that always exists on a management server (p. 391).
