A vault is a location for storing backup archives
Description
A vault is a location for storing backup archives.
A vault can be organized on a local or networked drive, detachable media, a tape device or in Acronis Cloud storage.
There are no settings for limiting a vault size or number of backups in a vault. You can limit the size of each archive only using cleanup.
Centralized vaults
Centralized vaults are only available in Acronis Backup Advanced products. A centralized vault is a networked location allotted through Acronis Management Server.

Managed vault
A managed vault is a centralized vault managed by Storage Node. To access a managed vault, user must have an account on the machine, where Storage Node is installed.
