
Archives - the total number of archives stored in all the vaults managed by the storage node.

Backups - the total number of backups stored within the archives in all the vaults managed by
the storage node.

Indexing - the indexing activity deduplicates the data saved to the deduplicating vault during a
backup. Indexing always runs after a backup is completed. To learn more about indexing, see
"How deduplication works" (p. 227).

Idle - indexing is not running. You can start the indexing by clicking the Run indexing link.

Running - indexing is running. You can stop the indexing by clicking the Stop link. Since
indexing is a resource-consuming operation, you may want to stop it in order to allocate
more resources to other processes which are more important at the moment. We
recommend you to stop the indexing only if you absolutely need to, and to re-run the
indexing as soon as possible. The longer you delay the indexing, the more data will not be
deduplicated in the vault and the more disk space will be occupied.

Compacting - the compacting task deletes from the deduplication data store the blocks which
are no longer referred to. To learn more about compacting, see the "How deduplication works"
(p. 227) section.

Idle - compacting is not running. You can start the compacting by clicking the Run
compacting link.

Running - compacting is running. You can stop the compacting by clicking the Stop link.

Compacting schedule - the compacting task scheduling parameters. Click the Compacting
schedule link to re-schedule the compacting task. Only the time events (daily (p. 83), weekly (p.
84), and monthly (p. 87) schedules) are available for setting up. The preset is: Start the task every
1 week on Sunday at 03:00:00 AM.

7.5.6.4 Configuring a storage node with Acronis Administrative
Template
The following are the parameters of Acronis Backup Storage Node that can be set by using Acronis
Administrative Template. For information on how to apply the administrative template, see How to
load Acronis Administrative Template (p. 392).
Parameters related to compacting
As backups are deleted from a deduplicating vault, its deduplication data store (p. 227) may contain
unused data blocks (items) that are no longer referred to from any backup. The storage node
processes the data store to delete the unused items. This operation is called compacting. Compacting
is performed by the compacting task.
