Creating a centralized vault

In this step, you will create a centralized vault available across the network. This will enable easy access to the backups.

1. In your network, choose a machine where you want to store the backed-up data. It can be the machine where you installed the management server.
2. On the machine where you installed the management server, click Acronis Backup & Recovery 11 on the desktop.
3. Click Connect to a management server. In Machine, type the name of the current machine.
4. On the Actions menu, click Create centralized vault.
5. In Name, type the name of the vault.
6. In Type, select Unmanaged.
7. Click Path and then specify the path to the network share where the backups will be stored. Click OK. When prompted, provide access credentials for the shared folder.
8. Click OK. You can see the vault name in the Navigation tree under Vaults > Centralized. Click the vault name to check its free space and contents.
